i prefer ice by far ! very consistant, and you actually know since the beggining if you're going to be able to kill the mob (if your mana goes down faster than his life, you're screwed)

also, sometimes you get unlucky on light and wind charms, and get a lot of low hits in a row, which make you fail some bosses you could have killed with an ice charm. sometimes you get lucky tho and hits for a lot many times in a row, but the chances that it happens on a monster you wouldn't have killed with a ice charm are low.

So yeah, i firmly believe that you have more chances to success a well boss with an ice charm than a light/wind or even fire.

maybe earth could be better than ice tho. since it's pretty consistent, when you have bad luck and hit low, you won't really do much less dmg than with a ice charm. in the other hand, when you get lucky and hit slighty more than ice, you can finish a monster you couldn't with ice.

anyway, eighter earth or ice are the best imo

First of all; there are no dumb questions Just because you don't know what to do yet doesn't make you dumb

I am also new to the game and this helped me alot also!! (Only played barbs thusfar )

So earth and Ice eh... I just want one more perons Opinin and then ill let this topic die...



I don't know some thing i ask make me feel dumb...

TBH, if i was just making a caster to level, i would always pick the cheapest charm which gets me the most ee, because no charm does *BETTER* damage than the other. On the other hand, if i was making a WELLER, i would aim for ice, but since i am too poor for ice, i use the next best charm, earth. Fire is also acceptable, but only if its cheap (which its not!). You want to aim for these types of charms because you want the most success rate when you are welling. Most wellers have a success rate or 85%+ (the ones who actually invest in gear). Some pros (like przy) have a 99~100% success rate, and thats because they use Ice/Earth charms, if they used lightning charms with the same ee. They would probably have a success rate in the low 90's because its too unpridictable. It all boils down to what you wanna do with your character

thank you for your help and everyone eles...
