Why should I choosse lighting over Fire? The only advantage I see is the mov speed. I would really like to choose fire since I think it's better. But how do I solve the mov.speed problem?

fire gives mag defense and as pure int, you have enuff mag def. lightning gives mag attk, and that's always good.

extra defence is never bad.

fire:
- strongest imbue
- immunity
- mag defence
- fire wall
- phys attack increase
- strongest nukes

would be suitable for a hybrid int user or full int


light:
- splash damage with light imbue
- speed +ghost walk
- mag. attack increase
- parry :-/

would suit a full int best (with full ice included)

Light Nuke - 300% +18%
Fire Nuke - 330%

Light Imbue @ level 98 - Mag. Atk. Power 682~1267
Fire Imbue @ level 98 - Mag. Atk. Power 860~1484


Fire wins.

so for pure int s/s 100bich/fire/cold is the best hmm so how do you solve the mov.speed issue? mov speed scrolls are pretty expensive aint they

bard in party
moving speed drugs/scrolls
or grind in a high spawn area so you dont have to run much

imo I would rather hav more damage over moving speed.

There's not such a thing.

This is how I see it:
Fire gives basically a wider variety of nukes to choose from, magical defense, fire wall and immunity.
Lightning on the other hand gives speed/mobility, and the lion shouts.

Ah, another thing, unless I'm outdated, from what I can remember the lightning mag % atk boost would make it hit nearly as much or more than fire's stronger imbue + stronger nuke. So in that inquiry I'd say both are somewhat equal.

It's all up to what you prefer, there's not a best one, unless it's based on your personal opinion, what's the best for you.

Your memory is old. At 100 cap, the new fire nuke + fire imbue will do more dmg than light nuke + light imbue.

Yup after 80 skills or 90 cap was released they updated the fire nukes: At lv 70 the meteor will be 315 % instead of 300% and at lvl 80 it will be 330%. Which is a huge difference.

Just to be absolutely sure (sorry about this, I am like this ), what you are saying is fire100/lightning0 will deal more damage than lightning100/fire0?

And, could you tell me how big the difference would be from what you've seen/heard?

Thanks for the info, really appreciate it.
