Regarding Blue Flame and infusions

[Gr8Gr3yM]

I have done some light testing with it, and very strangely it seems the strongest version of blue flame is the regular one, both using magic and regular attacks, the unfused version overpowers other versions.

Considering the sorcery damage with soul spear:
Unfused: 734
Mundane : 535 Vitality 6? Acording to the wiki this should matter, can't see how.
Enchanted: 605 Int 99

I don't understand...i tested on the soldier guys at cardinal tower.

I think that you might infuse this with Fire or Magic .

You get highest spell damage out of it by infusing it with Raw and buffing it with Crystal Magic Weapon. Magic damage is the only thing which affects spell damage and bonus from buff depends of total base damage(physical+magic).

2 Blue Flames are an interesting power stance combination since you can buff them with each other.

EDIT: Oh and Enchanted gives magic scaling for physical damage.

Been doing a lot of pvp lately with power stance blue flame, done 700 fights last 5 days, around 72% win ratio i would say, pretty good in my opinion, i always wonder if lag is in my side.

I turned them both magic yesterday, that might have not been a good idea, it is good for short pvp, but for pve and long pvp it is not, since i can't just spam the magical weapon sorcery, leaving the right hand weapon normal, or even crazier, carrying 3 blue flames so i can spam aromatic ooze might be a good idea.

lmao I find it incredibly hilarious that you tried out the Mundane infusion. As already stated, the Raw version is usually the best option. You can save a ton of point in Int, too. You can spice down spells and just about the only spells that are negatively affected are the Homing Soulmass spells as the number of orbs scales with your Int and the spell buffs as their duration scales with Int aswell. Therefore I'd use Great Magic Weapon or a resin instead of Crystal Magic Weapon.

And I'd just forget about a second Blue Flame. Use a more damaging straight sword like an infused varangian sword or just use a katana (Uchigatana) which opens up a bunch of great options, like a good running attack and a high trading potential. Or an infused Manikin Sabre or Ice Rapier.
