Fire or Frost?

[Irish Down-SAPP-]

I'm guessing it's all preference but just thought I'd ask. Respects.

In general, there's the difference in Damage each do, and the desired affects (damage vs stun). But my preference is to only use Frost on pyro critters, while I use Fire on everything else. I'm just another pyro critter

Ice (or frost) uses more mana than fire. Not sure why but it does. :)

Both.
Mainly i just spam ice bolts, it helps on crowed control with the slow effect.
Switch to fireballs when i want the extra aoe damage to hit lots of targets.
Bare in mind i play with Enemy Amount-Many, Simultaneous Enemy Attacks-Very Hard, Enemy attack Frequency-200%, Enemy and Boss Damage-200%, everything else related 100%. So Crowed Control is mandatory.

+1 both one for crowd control the other for damage.

Some enemies are resistant to frost, some to fire, some to shroud, none to lightning that i know of, maybe thats all lightning wands sucks, slow projectile and all.

Bandits are weak to ice, Vukah to fire, Shroud fell enemies to fire, ice, anything but shroud damage really.

If you are wondering about the skill tree i always go fire, since fireball is the best spell and the fire aura is great, i mean great with a capital G, those annoying flying bugs are toast before they annoy you, any enemy near gets toasted with good damage after you get INT high enough, love that passive, like water aura i find it a must have for any mage ( along with double jump and updraft too).
