Missing Info

I did read the magic fusion article and I included the correct base damage in my calculations above. No I'm not confusing Single hit damage with combo damage. Ice/Lightning and Fire/Lightning are both multi-hit attacks, so I compared them assuming they both work to their full potential.

Anyways, thank you for telling me that Fire/Lightning does the full 5-charge damage to each target and that Ice/Lightning and Fire/Lightning do not have arc decay. The articles don't say anything about that. That's what I wanted to know. In that case, before the int bonus, elemental modifications, defense, and protection, Fire/Lightning does up to 270*5*1.3*5 = 8,775 damage while Ice/Lightning does 230*(5+4+3+2+1)= 3,450 damage. Still a big damage advantage for Fire/Lightning.

Oh and Ice_Fire says that firebolt's bonus is +0% +5% +10% +20% +30%.
