Only server this would be possible on is Epona, but otherwise, whats the point of playing? I also too did meet a high level with no clan which received a lot of respect from the server, forgot who....only had hands and feet of dl when edl was out so still kinda pointless. I guess some just say they're there for friends....clans do have drama about gear also..

Can you say that that again in English please? O.o

I would say firestorm > ice shards and my firestorm hits more than my bolt, bolt on average 6-8k and storm is 7-9k

Ice shards is faster and hits harder than Firestorm, even without ice attune while firestorm is with fire attune. Ice shards > Firestorm.

It may hit harder if you are an Ice mage with full ice mage gear and ice attune.

However when you are a fire mage using ice magic skills you often miss out on valuable Ice Magic ability bonuses that gear from that type of mage would be. So due to the Firestorm skill being boosted by Fire Attunement in addition to the Fire Magic provided through gear you use such as.
-Necromancer fire magic rings
-event ammy fire magic buffs
-event charm possible fire magic buffs
-fire bolt mord brace or a fire event brace from yule(what most would use) both add fire magic


All this fire magic will decrease one of the most important elements in a Mages DPS, Ability.

There is enough evidence to support the fact that mages Ability has a direct link to the amount of skills evaded.

As to your mention of

Ice shards is faster and hits harder than Firestorm

when i just tested both skills with a stopwatch without any recast gear both were at exactly 15 seconds of recast time

However ice shards took 1 second to use and Firestorm took 2 seconds.

Due to any proper mage would have about 5000+ of their own ability before another i would estimate randomly that the time taken to cast firestorm over ice shards would not give any distinct advantage due to the amount of extra evades that would most likely occur.

hits harder than Firestorm, even without ice attune while firestorm is with fire attune. Ice shards > Firestorm.

Ok this is quite a large statement and i would like to know what facts this is based off as at 50/50 on my skill page ice shards is only at 6698 damage with a build consisting of 4000 ice magic(not maxed yet) and 2005 focus. and if i recall correctly my firestorm was around 7-8k on page

As to the gear swaps that could be possible i think it highly unlikely that most mages would gear swap more than 1 or 2 gears simply due to the hassle and i dont think its wise to consider gear swaps in such a basic assumption due to the amount of extra variables that would need to be included.

7-8k fire storm on the skill page? I find that hard to believe. Without attune, ice shards hits higher than fire storm for sure.

Just checked, I have:

8841 firebolt on 20%
8567 firestorm on 30%
9517 shards on 25%

I have never gotten a 215, mord, prot or necro kill. I get hrungnir often but that's probably because noone hastes it anymore. Just lost on a 210 6* to a hasted ranger who used heat set, no mord helm, and no attack braces, while timing offhand skill and every shard cast perfectly. This is with 4845 e sigs so I don't lose out on much dps waiting for occasional ticks. My 210 and 205 kills only come when no edl quiver/rondel hastes. I get event 5* kills but lose on 6* to actual ice mages. Not exactly an optimal decision to alt to full ice just for this boss either. So basically I can hold my own on 5* or vs unhasted worse geared melee toons on 6*s. Besides that, I'm only good for ring bosses and adds which aren't exactly the most glorious kills

Perhaps he didnt include fire attune, regardless, ice shards is faster in casting as well, every second matters when its a long fight.

7-8k fire storm on the skill page? I find that hard to believe. Without attune, ice shards hits higher than fire storm for sure.

sorry that was including attune

I dont have my mage at maxed lvl so I base it on other mages. At lvl 130 with maxed fire magic (I dont recall how much exactly, but its over 1400) and barely half maxed ice magic, Fire bolt at lvl 50 + bonuses from gear, + lvl 39 attune, vs a lvl 47 ice shards no bonuses no attune, ice shards has 4.7k dmg and firebolt 4.9k, and at high lvl as it seems mages have similar dmg for bolt and attune (as u will use bolt boosting gear and not firestorm, Mamba's bolt hits harder than his storm), ice shards will clearly top storm's dmg.
