Light from heaven or fire form hell??

[hadioz2004]

Just wondering are bladers good to use Light imbue or Fire imbue,
i know that fire imbue have high damage but what about light imbue its electric shock decreses parry ratio so damage increses just post what u think

[zephyr]

I still think the electric shock effect is bugged and doesnt work...

[StealMySoda]

Well the shock can be reduced/removed quickly/instantly with pills/accessories+fire shield

So go with fire for max dmg.

I know the chart says fire does more damage, but there have been various threads where people have tested different imbues and there is no damage difference between them(not counting the status effects)

If there is no damage difference than light would be the strongest if you include the mag damage buff from that tree

*I dont have the sp to test this myself, I am just repeating what others have said*

Well, you get 16% if you max the mag damage buff, and 13% if you max the fire phys buff + passive.

Its a tossup as to what would be more beneficial to a pure str (just an assumption cause most bladers are such). The electric status can be taken care of with fireshield + accessories, and so can the burning status.

I say just use what you want. The lightning imbue will hit multiple close targets, while the fire imbue wont. Being a blader, you might find the lightning better for grinding cause you wont have to run as much to drag mobs in.

use fire nukes w/ light's mag.buff & ur dmg will be godly

As a blader?

Str nuker FTW!

I would say fire imbue.

There are other skills in Fire tree that you should have, anyhow.

These include: Fire Protection, Fire Shield, Flame Body, etc.
