im thinking of switching to cold

I quite like them all. Cold probably looks the best because the least amount of people use it, Fire is far too often used, as with lightning, which is probably why we are used to them, and don't necessarily like them.

Cold is the best because it's blue.
Fire is the worst because the sound is rubbish.

cold imbue is white is at high lvls and the snow flakes follow behind you as you run

Personally i think cold looks the coolest. Although im not a fan of the freezing effects, they dont look that nice >_<

Oh I meant the colour of the weapon trail, if we're going by the glowy hand thing then lightning gets my vote.

I use lightning... It turns blue-ish on high levels.

cold imbue makes sparkles when you run

If you are full Str, damage is nearly noticable between fire-light-ice.

exactly. as a full str your attack rateing makes a bigger differnce then what imbue you use.

So this is somewhat off topic but say I make a pure int spear...would cold imbue be a good idea or bad?

Ints rely on imbue's damage, cold's damage is lower than lights, so that would be bad idea.
Another things is that Spear doesnt hit that often as Sword/Blade does, and your nukes are naturally slow, so chances of freezing someone is lower.

way back when i was just started playing this game 6 months ago. my char is kinda farked up str glaiver because i put some int on it (every level 1 int 2 str distribution) i also choose ice as my main imbue, not fire because i also think it was "cool" then i read the guides here about pure str glaivers then i said "i fcked up"

didn't know way back then that i can edit my skills by curst hearts. i restarted a new char. pure str glaiver and fire imbue.

Yea I saw a post about this awhile back. That is why I'm farming Light and Fire at 90.. Because lower parry ratio means more chances to crit and Id just use fire for pve.

On Topic: I think ice imbue is the coolest looking but at 10D I like fire imbue. Ill look for the pk2 video and edit my post when i do.

Cold imbue is good when training. I don't think it would do much good for pvp.

Lower parry means more chances to hit a higher end damage on your damage scale. It doesn't have anything to do with crit.

I thought it meant that it was more chances for your enemy to hit on the lower end of damage scale to you?

I love cold, when you're a STR char imbue isn't that strong even with fire so I use cold. At high levels alot of people are immune, but not everyone

Lightning's damage is unstable. Its minimum damage is the lowest of the imbues; it can hit less than ice imbue ever could. But lightning imbue can also hit higher than ice imbue's maximum damage.

well, back on topic, I'd say ice imbue is the coolest.

Lv 98 lightning is... win. 98 fire just a glowing purple ball of gayness and ice looks pretty much the same.

i think fire looks the best, and the "boom" sound when u hitting something is powerful. not a weak "dink" like ice, or a "buzz" like lightning
