hey soury u said u made a r/e yea? how do they end up panning out
Most R/E don't actively nuke with magic but use conjuration spells (Conjure Fire, Lightning, Frost) along with a bowstring of the same element. In the end it winds up being an extra 13 damage a shot + whatever other buffs the ranger is using.Originally posted by: basey_69

Ranger is a pretty diverse class in and of itself so most of the R/E I've seen don't use many skills from their /E class, mainly the conjurations.

this might sound out of place but, what kind of game is it? (i know its a CORPG)
EDIT: my bad, i just read FAQ Y.
LaZie made this...a long time ago.

Ok I just got to the desert and a Pyromancer build is impossible there. I'm switching to Aeromancer. If any of you have a nice lightning wand/staff you're willing to sell or trade, I'll take it. I got a very nice fire staff for trade.

Eww, another generic W/Mo. Make something more interesting, especially as your first character.
Ugh.
Fire magic just doesn't cut it in the Crystal Desert.
I'm thinking of switching both magic disciplines and my secondary.
I just started a new character, aiming for a Mo/W smiter. Elementalists seem to get weaker and weaker as the game goes on.
You're not finding/using the right skills then. Elementalists are called a nuker class for a reason.Originally posted by: BOARD_of_command

Ne/Me lvl 12. Lazy lvler. Focuses. Blood magic, Domination Magic, Curses. Everyone hates me XD
I have all the nuking skills: inferno, flame burst, phoenix, meteor shower, arcane echo, fire attunement, aura, and on and on. I even have a 20 recharge wand and 12/20/20 focus.Originally posted by: Souryusen

Yes, nuking works, but only to a certain extent. It's pretty good up until Crystal Desert. The monsters there (except scarabs) all have incredible fire defense. Once you get to the missions, the enchanted guys take literally no damage from fire. And to nuke, you gotta get up close and personal. Later in the game, those monsters will beat the shit out of you regardless of aura or not. Now I'm at Droknar and I've yet to check out the monsters outside. It should be a bit better than desert since it's in the Shiverpeaks.
Or maybe it's just the fire nuker build that's limited. I've heard earth-nuking is also pretty powerful since it gives you defensive spells as well.
Jesus.. how the hell did you pull ahead of me? I only just now got through the Wilds mission. I haven't even entered the Fisherman's place yet to get Fire Attunement.
A lot of people seem to switch to Air magic once they get to the desert, because of the armor penetration. Earth is supposedly real good.. especially obsidian flame and crystal wave.
You have an awful fire build BOC, but even the good one pales against the desert badasses.
Ya I switached to air in the desert to test it out. Definitely more worthwhile than casting 50 dmg infernos. You're still in the pre-ascension areas so nuking still works beautifully. Once you reach the desert you'll see what I'm talking about.Originally posted by: Souryusen

And Y, that's not my build, they're just the popular skills I have. I've switched things around a lot and nothing works in the desert other than air.
And fire, and water... etc.
I can walk through the desert with only henchman using fire magic. My pubbie team beat Thirsty in 1 try. It's just harder with fire.
Air is good for single targets. Water is good for interrupts (and some defense with stuff like Mistform). Earth has great defense and status effects.
