Re: Fire or Ice Mage

#11 by Criminal
ice is good for burst damage, most dps ice builds have firebolt as a 3rd dps spell, evades will ruin your life.

fire is good all around for consistent dps. Fire build does more long term damage than any ice build with equal gear
most high end fire dps builds run bolt/storm with a 3rd dps spell of incinerate or If your energy bar can handle it, you can run ice shards. Sometimes my un-attuned ice shards will still hit for over 6k.

with my hrung skull i can bolt/storm/shards/bolt with no delay between casts potentially doing a 25k burst which aint bad at all

In theory you could dump e shield and run firebolt fire storm incinerate and ice shards with the right gear, but even with 12k energy and 2100 esigs, i would be hurting. Incin doesnt stack either so no point in that at raids
Ice shards can be good even if unattuned mostly on boss raids as there will be an ice lure there.
Inc is better than ice shards IMO if u have the strongest inc on the fight.

Depends, but probably Fire. A fire mage kills faster because their skills reload very fast and in case the mob deflects you still have a chance to kill it. The theme of an ice mage is to give a sudden load of damage. But if the damage is not enough or the mob deflects you're going to have problems.
My journey here at Celtic Heroes has been a long one. Although I am sad to leave, I will forever cherish the memories I made and the lesson I learned. Farewell.

ice can be very deadly in the right hands. extremely high damage means its easier to lock bosses. go ice if you like high damage and solo leveling. i personally am fire though. its just a matter of play style. im looking at a 6k firebolt at lvl 150 whereas my brother, at lvl 190, can ice blast 11.8k and more with a shrivewood set.

Pics or it didn't happen. I hit 6-7k at 191 with really good focus and mord gear...
I was amazed myself, doesnt seem reasonable at all, 'im at 6k firebolts', at lvl 190 i see mages at the same amount.

With 1925 focus and adding the boost from attune and 445 direct boost from an imp mordy bolt brace, I hit up to 6878 in my regular build. I could do just a bit more if i rebirthed all of my vit out, had a shrive set, had a mordy fire grim, and used anc bone gloves. I don't think you managed to break 6k at 150 raj.

Seems to me like an excuse to cover for ur 60 dmg firebolt.
