    I put my stats into doing the most damage. Why should someone do more damage than me with less Intelligence, but has more lightning elemental than me, because I balanced myself?

    So here is something: What about non-elemental magic?
    Example: Ultima, Meteor, Comet.

    If these spells were/are introduced it would be amazing if the spell damage was increased off of balanced elemental chart.
    this was what they officially said in one of their q and a

    Elements
    Increases damage dealt by attacks of that element
    Reduces damage taken from attacks of the opposing element


    and yes it makes sense, you can choose to specialize in certain elements, Fire Wizard Bill, or you can go all around, as far as the non elemental, im not sure, but the light one is based on the 3 elements that make up light and the dark one is based on the 3 elements that make dark.

    theoretically possible some will be based on all.

    basically just like anything else, you have to choose the elements you want to be great at, but also what you are weak too, it does make sense to me.

    basically a high int chr with insane buff to one element will have a more powerful nuke in that element, the problem is, against mobs with the wrong element, they will probably get a high resist.

    Its just like strength may determine your overall strength, but if someone else studies boxing, and trains for it, they will probably be a better boxer than you.
