Air or Fire? - Guild Wars Forums

I am confused. Is fire magic the most powerful out of all of the elements? I have heard from people that since air magic has 25% armor penetration it hits harder, is that true? I am a very offensive elementalist and would really like to know which one hits harder.

PvP, Air hits harder. Fire hits hard, as well, but it's better against multiple monsters, where as people would simply step out of the way.

So against people, use air.

Against monsters, use fire.

Thx...I think I'll stay with fire then. But wait...If I didnt care about the AOE should I use air? I don't usually care about hitting other monsters besides the one I'm targetting because of all of the bone minions I summon.

Then if that's your play style, I would use Air.

Alrighty then.

Ive always been a fan of fire, but after looking at how air spells take much less time to cast I decided to switch (Must still get superior air rune).

Fire is more about damaging fast and hard. Fire Spells are simply just fire spells. Damage. That's it

Air is more versatile though and can be used better in strategy. Air magic can be lightning or cold damage. And spells like Gale can be used to help you partners from afar. Whirlwind is another one that helps keep you safe when surrounded by attacking enemies.
