alright alright ive read all of the post leading up to mine and im sure this oen will be the post to end all posts in this topic ^^.
ok so first of, ice
ICE BLOWS!! period, no matter what spin you put on it ice wil never be as good as the other too for imbune (buffs are totaly different). sure you can freeze them, but if you have any other imbune you will kill them before they touch you.
lighting is what i use, i know most of you think it sucks cause it has a little less damage then fire.... BOO FLIPPIDY HOOO, it attracks way mroe mobs (which i like for my style grinding, i will get to that) it also reduces parry. now this may or may not effect critical idk because when i was using ice my bow had 2crit on it, sence i have switched to lightning i have also gotten a better bow which has 8crit. but you know how attacks very in damage no matter what, you can hit a 5k oine time then hit a 4.6 another with the same skill. well what parry does is allow you to hit those 5k shots mroe and those 4.6k shots less, keeps your damage consistent
fire is the shit when it comes to max damage.
everyone knows that, fire= most damage ever. which in pvp this will be good.
the status effects do not play any role in what imbune you shoudl pick, you shoudl chose based on yoru grind style. for me i liek to go to a crowded area where i can fight 5 monsters at onces constantly, more kills= more exp for me, the lighting really helps me with thatbecause of the damage transfer, and also in pulling mobs. but you might wnat to grind like a nuker might, meaning (using fire) you fight one mob at a time but kill them fast. or... you could do what most ppl do (using ice) and fight monsters 2-3 lvls stronger, mabey more, then you. this takes longer, but each kill gives more exp(as you undoubtably know alredy).
in short.... i am bias against ice jsut because it suks for damage and in pvp the effects are no help. as for fire or light, its up to you man. i suggest you go wtih what ever imbune fits yoru grind style.
but thats jsut my oppion
), so the logical choice would be to choose the fire imbue. But while I'm training up to the cap, which will take a HELL of a long time, won't it be more beneficial for me to use the ice imbue and give myself more time to kill the mob before it gets to me? Worst case, I can just farm a bit more at the cap and get the fire imbue as well.
