Geo vs. pyro

in your opinions, which is better, pyromancer or geomancer. what are the ups and downs of both. thank you very much.

both have their pro and their cons.

pyromancer foucuses more on AoE damage, while earth focuses on support spells.

the earth line has a few AoE damage spells, as well as some armor ignoring ones. the earth line also has the wards that help whoever partymember from your team is inside them

the fire line has mostly AoE damage spells, but has few single target damage spells. that is all, just damage. (and to scatter mobs with the spells that deal damage over time)

I always had much more fun playing Earth ele than I ever did playing a fire ele.

There is no "best" choice it is purely situational on which element line to use.

PvE in general pyro is quite useful due to the mobs but as an example, fire island air/earth would be the better choice due to the monsters high ac and fire resistance(? not sure but fire dmg is very low there)

thank you very much. im thinking im going to try geomancer, thank you all for your help

Pyromancer is getting some love in pvp too...

Too debate this a bit more, heres a quick bit of info.

Water Magic: Slow down magic- Prevent foes from moving around the battlefield fast, whilst also dealing quite good damage.

Fire Magic: Heavy AoE damage,also known as nuking- most common. Few single target spells.

Air Magic: Heavy Single Target spells, also known as "Spiking"

Earth Magic: Few AoE/Single target spells- good in close range( earthquake/aftershock combo)- mostly support element.
