The NE priest racial spell (we'll just ignore Elune's Grace :P ), Starshards, has several odd things about it.Probably Elune's Grace effect is small indeed, but at least it does something! Starshards may make some sense for Holy-oriented build, but as most priests who intend to do damage are shadow-oriented, this skill seems to be of very little practical use (which is just a polite way to say "this skill sucks big time" ;)). Two Mind Flays do approximately the same damage, but cost much less mana, and also slow the enemies.
As for spellcasters... My standard sequence is PW:Shield, Mind Blast, PW:Pain, Mind Flay, Mind Blast, wand to death - and, with Ellune's Grace (and Shadow Protection, if appropriate), any caster is dead before the shield wears off. If not (only happens when fighting multiple enemies), I have Improved PW:S, so no need to worry about interruption.
Anyway, I know that my comments don't answer your questions at all, I just don't understand why everybody rant about Ellune's Grace so much, when the other Elf's racial is much worse... and, if your observations are correct, has more "features" (i.e. bugs). :unsure:
