Earthblade and fireblade

Illyn - Raging Tide

Have you already wondered that if wizards are master of fire, water and earth why there is no earthblade and fireblade buffs?

When doing FC with all water bosses I feel that frostblade is even more useless than already it is. I buff more for building chi and for the visual effect than for the increase in dmg itself.

With fire and earth element buffs (fireblade and earthblade) we could take more advantage of boss/mobs element when buffing.

Am I the only one who already wondered about that?

Edit: These skills wouldnt even be hard to implement, you just have to change frostblade color effect.

Interesting and neat idea.

Though I think they would be called FlameBlade and StoneBlade based on FrostBlade is based on the water element and not precisely called WaterBlade. b:chuckle

In PvP though it might be too much of a damage boost for melee characters. People don't really know about FrostBlade's damage and if you x3 that damage it could hurt a lot, especially in melee v melee fights.

Then again, there are skills that work for PvE and not PvP, sorta, in another method.

Yea, no problem about Flameblade and Stoneblade skill names.

Frostblade is actually a really good buff if you think about it. For endgame melee classes (think r9+12 weapons) frostblade is a really nice add. It adds around 1750 damage to an r9+12 sin's normal attack. This is really useful in PVP where the target is a heavy armor class. Against normal mobs it is good for an increase in overall damage and the ability to actually do something to physical immune mobs.

Yes the effect is reduced on enemies with water affinity but it still is added damage nonetheless. I don't really think other elemental buffs are needed, but I think they would be a cool addition provided a player cant have more than one of them on at a time.

But part of being a wizard is learn to choose the best skills depending on enemy's element. So why not to extend that to our only buff that can be given to others?
