Sorry I got a noob question here.

What does the Fire/Cold/Earth/Lighting damage of Melee Weapon actually do?
Some people said the Cold Damage will slow down people's movement and attack. Some people said the Fire Damage will do much more damage on most monsters and players. Are they true? If so, does it mean that if I equip an Axe with Cold Damage? Will it slow down my opponents (in terms of attack speed and moving speed) in PvP? How about Fire/Earth/Lightning damage?

Another question:

From what I saw, most Warriors are W/Mo, W/E, W/R. I think it is because basically:
W/Mo can tank well in both PvP and PvE
W/E is common for its knockdown build
W/R is for fame farming by abusing the IWAY team formation
So how about W/Me and W/N?
Are W/Me and W/N strong in PvP and PvE?
Should I go for Strength or Tactic for W/Me and W/N build?

Thanks so much for your help!! Much appreciate that!

W/Me for some reason tend to be for specific situations^ like IDS farming and the ever cool Titan farming build that Kvndoom posted awhile ago. Tactics tends to be a good line for all-around use, and just about the only kind used in PvP (apart from IWAY groups.) Most people go w/n for plague touch to get rid of blind and cripple.

There are few to no respectable upper echelon guilds that run IWAY.

W/R for high DPS.
W/E for KD.
W/N for plague touching and sometiems stripping.
Seen W/Me with stripping and power draining.
W/Mo for CoP.
