fire or light?

[kenshinx9]

im making a nuker and i cant choose if i should use lightning as main imbue. or have fire as my imbue. i read the guide about pure int nukers and some say fire will make ur time playing fun and wont die. and some say that lightning will die which will cause people to quit?

someone clarify for me?

Fire is known to have a higher base damage than light. However the buffs from light give % increase in magic damage.
If you have 90 fire mastery, then you should use fire imbue. (Even if you have light)
If you have 90 lightning mastery, but no fire mastery, then you should use light imbue. In other words, use fire imbue if it doesn't make you go out of the way to get it. Otherwise, don't level up fire mastery just for the imbue. You won't see a very noticeable damage increase from using one or the other.
Putting up your build would help me evaluate which one you should use better.

Well Fires a higher dmg imbue.

But if this is a matter of 90 fire vs 90 light
then 90 light is best for a nuker.
