Wait a minute !! (Nuker question)

I am going dual nukes both fire and light. I've read Fly's guide already and he didn't mention this. Which imbue should i max? There's no point in maxing both imbues.

Wouldn't it make sense to go with fire imbue if it does more dmg?

Need some help here, thanks !!

yah max the fire imbue since it does most damage. I dont know about lightning but it does lower dodge ratio which means u can deal more damage. Not sure cuz i never tested it, but i would max out fire.

I'm using lightning imbue for my nuker. I don't know what would be the damages of a fire imbue of the same level, but lightning does good damages indeed.
The parry decrease is quite efficient - but I have no idea of how much it increases your damages.

I would say that you should go for fire.

Well if you look at the imbue skills you can see in low levels fire does the most and lightnight does the least (ice in the middle obviously). But higher on lightning ends up doing more then ice. Fire is the best, it has best damage low to high level.

lighting does the most damg because of its parry decrease. you people only say fire does more damg because of the burn yet the lightning at higher levels will take off the parry of almost 2 armor pieces. which in turn will do mor damg overall.

I chose fire after trying out ice, then lightning for a few reasons.

1. Ice was only good till lvl 30 when I was trainging with knockdown/stab with sword
2. Lightning was ok for awhile but when I go close combat at low lvls or when I nuke even with fire I can accidentally aggro nearby monsters.
3. The fire imbue actually does give the highest dmg with a lower mp cost.
4. I never really noticed the decrease parry ratio from the lightning imbue, I just wanted to kill it as fast as possible.
5. The fire imbue burn can be carried over to other monsters from the jump of the lightning nuke.
6. The imbue is to add dmg, so ice imbue is useless as it adds little dmg and the frozen affect is useless as they die in 1-2 shots.
