Some of the things these elements can do sound too OP for ordinary weapons, let alone legendarys and pearls even.

I think Ice might be a bit too...precise for Gearbox to handle, unless the enemies were all ready scripted to handle their limbs being shot off. (I.E. Loaders)

Plague sounds too much like a hybrid between Corrosive and the Daze status effect back in BL1.

And Cyclone...well...a better name might be Wind...or Aero. I like the idea of knockback, but then again some enemies are rooted right into the ground, so that should add a good counter-balance. One thing I would like to see in this is...Rocket Jumping. Seriously, that could up the ante an throw an entirely new element (both literally and metaphorically) into the game.
