Yeah I know the "Why is Fireball weak?" thread has somehow become a general discussion about mages and how weak they supposedly are, but I'm hoping to keep this specific to the Elemental school for those playing on Nightmare. The school just seems quite weak to me. Fireball is rubbish for reasons that have been discussed. The cold spells do good damage, but friendly fire obviously reduces their effectiveness. What seems an even bigger problem with them to me is that many enemies are immune to cold. So even though I've already got Anders with several primal spells, I'm thinking of respeccing Merrill to drop the cold spells and pick up some primal. Do people generally agree that there are better options than elemental? I'm sure that you could still get through the game focusing on elemental spells, but I'm not interested in having a character whose effectiveness is halved in many combat situations.

as oposed to primal elemental cant benefit from CCC so you either  max it or ignore (just grab the frost ones ).
Fireball sux but firestorm is good if you can avoid the FF. Remember that +fire /frost damage talents also increase damage of staff if you use that element

Oops, thanks for that. Should have looked a bit more closely.
