Hey guys, been wondering bout the different primal lines for spells, and although i originally thought the ice line was best, I've been seeing more and more just how powerful the fire line is.
So instead of going through the epic hassle of personally deciding which is better, I thought I'd let you guys give me your opinions about which is better: Fire or Ice?

[Crixt]

Ice + lightning.

[Naxela625]

I mean just the line alone. I'm not wasting 3 spells just to get SotC

[lisakover]

Lightning/Ice for sure.

I don't think u r getting the point
I want to know which line is better on their own
I'm already aware of the power of SotC

Ice

[DragonShepard138]

Cone of cold freezes 2 or 3 enemies on the spot for time to unleash a few hits. And its cooldown is fairly quick for such a good spell. Ice is the best to use I think, the combination of Blizzard and Tempest is one of my favorites. One that is useful for fire is grease and fireball or grease and inferno. The grease spell makes fire much stronger.

[miltos33]

Fire is better for damage. Cold is better for crowd control.

[Malanek]

Fireball and Cone of Cold are both really good. The question shouldn't be which one to go for, it should be which one to go for FIRST.

[Marionetten]

Go with whichever fits your character concept the best. They both do the job just fine.

[Chastain]

I made it through my first playthrough with fire. Second time I'm using ice. I'd give the edge to ice, but i'm more experienced with the game in general now so it's hard to say. Crowd control for mages does indeed seem to be the key to the game overall, and ice wins in that respect.

[Maria Caliban]

It is ice because you'll get cone of cold.

[RobUnreal]

Cone of Cold should be speced first. Especially against powerful bosses, if one of your teammates is grabbed, Cone of Cold can save them. Just set up the tactics accordingly.

[The Illusive Paragon]

Ice, I found it more useful for crowd control.

Fire might as well be renamed F4g, go with ice.

[JenMaxon]

Yup, I'd agree with everyone else.  Cone of cold is the spell I've used over and over again though I have to say grease and fireball, in narrow corridors, is pretty hilarious.  That combination got a lot of use in the Underdark - sorry - the lost roads.

[yasuraka.hakkyou]

there's also glyph of repulsion and storm of the century / grease fire / fireball / etc. fairly funny.



cold for crowd control, fire I guess is better for sheer damage.

[DragonShepard138]

Honestly I would go with both, you eventually get many more points to spend on other spells to fine tune how you'd like your mage, but having fire and ice really seem to be essential skills for most players. After looking over my original post here, and the other peoples posts. Crowd control with ice can really shift the momentum in your favor, and allow you control over the battlefield by stopping foes in their tracks so you can reassess the situation and decide who to kill next and how. With fire, its great for killing large groups quick and easy because of the fairly quick accumulated damage from the multiple burns the enemies receive from it.

Ice easily.

Best thing about fire is fireball. Ice has Cone of Cold and Blizzard.

[rumination888]

Fireball + Flameblast are amazing at clearing crowds. Fireball can also control enemies.
Cone of Cold + Winter's Grasp are amazing at controlling enemies. Cone of Cold can also clear crowds.
So one is good at area damage, the other is good at control.

I think both have their merits and neither one is better than the other. Thats the sign of balancing done right. Now if only that kind of balancing permeated through the rest of the game...

[taynar09]

Ice for sure, better control over the fight.

[agentwaffle]

I'm going to have to go with Ice. Freezing your enemies is just such an effective crowd control method....

[MindYerBeak]

Ice is all well and good, but isn't there a character within DAO who is unaffected by these spells? I won't say who in case it's a spoiler, but I understand the only way to defeat this foe is via fire. As I understand it ice has little effect. Ice is okay up until Level 9, then I think it's a good idea to switch to the fire tree.

[AuraofMana]

Fire tree is completely useless. There are way better spells you can get. Ice tree is amazing for both damage and CC.

Ice is okay up until Level 9, then I think it's a good idea to switch to the fire tree.

Oh well, you are wrong.

[Volleyjeff]

I love the ice tree. Fireball is okay, but flame strike is worthless - I never see it do any damage.
