I'm looking to asplode some ice imps, is there any way my earth damage output can be converted to fire damage? My eyes lit up when I saw Greater Conflagration but then was dissapointed. Winter won't be much use in this case (EDIT: Or might it???) :S

Elementalist, but I have the flexibility to use whatever is needed. Just wanted to know, with all the possible skill combinations in the game, if it was possible at all.

Greater conflagration will turn physical to fire, nothing else though

I'm assuming the reason he's asking is because he's using a teratank build with stone striker. Or some other earth tank build.

You could always use armor ignoring earth damage (crystal wave, tendri's crystals).

Yea, using Obsidian Flesh and Sliver Armour. I reckon the imps don't like earth damage much anyway. I was thinking maybe their vulnerability to fire might produce bigger yellow numbers than armour ignoring spells but then I try to remember that this isn't Pokemon. I have my build sussed out and it seems effective enough but I'll keep looking for a way to boost damage output and speed up the run.

Thanks for all the help everyone!

Using the element they are week towards does boost damage, but as long as your not dealing the type of damage they are resistant to, you should be fine.
