I'm curious what affinities people have been using/choosing and how useful they've been finding them to be. Checking out their stats on the google-info-doc, all of them are very useful, but I'm looking for feedback from my fellow players.

Currently, Poison Affinity seems like the best from my experience. The -15% max health does hurt, but with high Endurance and a Health/Healing Aug, this isn't as harmful. There are also about 20 Poison-based attacks monsters have in the game (double that of any other element), so Poison immunity negates those, liquid poison, and poison gas traps (like from pods). Favoring the Knight with sword/shield combo, the +6Dex for more 1Handed dmg isn't bad either.

Fire Affinity, though, is really close behind. As rain and water are regular things, having -30% max energy and 1dmg per sec while wet/submerged is annoying, but high Vigor and a Healing Aug make them much less so. And while fire doesn't have as many elemental attacks, they do deal the most damage ones in the game, so resistance to that is very beneficial. And that lava immunity is no joke; suddenly, you want to carry stacks of lava in your pocket so you can drop it on mobs while you strole by unharmed.

So that's my experience playing with a Knight, but what about my fellow Protectors? What classes are you and how have you been finding each of the affinities? I'm really interested to find out.
