Nope not implying that, but it's not hard to have 2 elementals without giving up much in either tree. Sorc's here on hardcore are generally easy ears, I dont suggest them at all. Cold ones do ok since you need roughly 500 stack to reduce the best to ~50 pvp damage.
Physical damage, magic or multiple types of damage chars are always going to be the best bet in the pub , hc or "bm" enviroment. I get the point of trying to balance skills and items for an even playing field in dueling between friends. Gm games however are practically non existent in pubs, and dont exist at all in hc. Thats a big reason why lld is so popular on hc.
bm is an action, not an items or skill selection.
Part of that comes down to achieving balance, so that only skill shows, and things don't come down to who has what items.
Using sorb vs. someone who wanted to make a cool fb sorc is like bo'ing vs. someone who doesn't have a cta or isn't a barb. Leads to one-sided duels, which is why gm/bm exists.
