conjure flame vs conjure lightning?

i read every single post i could on the matter, but cant figure out why air is so much more widely chosen than fire. (for rangers)

if conjure is the main skill being used by the ranger, what makes air better than fire, for instance?

are fire strings not availble or something? maybe some kind of synergy with air im missing? any help is appreciated.

Air is cooler.

And has a lot more useful skills if the player decides to use them.

i appreciate you responding, but can you give exapmles.

air being cooler doesnt really answer much, and which skills in air are better?

Fire really isn't great of a spell line for outcome per energy. And with ranger's not having the best energy management, you want to be careful with your magic. Blinding and knockdown are two great conditions in the game, and air offers them.

thank you, good info.

excellent, thanks.
as a quick aside, war/ele would do well with fire though, if using only the conjure from ele because of inate fire on the dragon sword? or do other weapons come with innate elemental damage that allow you to hilt them and keep elemental damage?
