Why is fire consistently the best elemental in vidya?

DoT

THIS ISN'T ABOUT A SPECIFIC VIDEO GAME YOU CAN'T DISCUSS THIS!!

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS

Oh, and fire is generally the most straight forward of the elements. It does more damage. No debuffs, no weird multipliers. Just more damage. So, it's easy to understand and use.

>fire elementals are hot
go figure

he didn't say "element," you illiterates

not in WoW

Fire can destroy just by being.

Earth, water and air cannot do the same. Fire is immediately more interesting.

>Fire damage does DoT
>Ice damage slows
>Lightning stuns

mods mods MODS N-NOT VIDYA!!!

that would make lightning objectively the best, though

>touches water
>dies
get fucked, fire

Sometimes you get Earth elementals with the thickest fucking thighs.

Mostly it's just because of the whole 'fire is passion' thing or so they can make a 'hot' pun.

simmer down, hothead

MOOOOOODSSSS

Earth > Water > Fire > Air

I dunno, I like water elementals. They don't burn when you touch them.

sauce

Earth is better

>touches water
>dies
hey fuck you, asshole

at least ONE FUCKING PERSON IN HERE CAN READ

>fire
literally the normie element

>turns to steam
>horrifically burns everyone in the surrounding area

God damn i miss save the princess threads. Fire elemental was always best girl.


Im never around for those weapon shop threads but are those any fun?

This isn't vidya, this is just a thread with the express purpose of talking about the elements.
It's the exact same as saying "why are black protagonists in vidya so shit". It belongs on /sci/.

>this thread is still up

GO BACK TO /LIT/ if you want to communicate using words

you must have some pretty enlightened discussions about niggers on /sci/ if that's your first recommendation for nigger talk

MODERATORS THIS THREAD IS NOT RELATED TO VIDEO GAMES

bing bing wahoo

jesus fucking christ you insufferable faggot it's a gateway to discuss any of the many many video games and video game worlds in which it exists shut the fuck up holy shit. your posting is literally worse than any vaguely offtopic bullshit that could actually happen in this thread

imagine the burns you will get on your dick if you stick in a fire elemental user don't do that

back to Sup Forums
cry there

where is the penis

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

All i know is water is the worst by far

Poison damage is best

Get a load of this guy

>i'm just pretending to be retarded xDDD

you faggots are derailing multiple vidya threads because you have nothing better to do

The sticky should include a reminder of the old primary/secondary/tertiary paradigm.

The thing I really like about Planes is that we learn that WWII happened in the Cars universe. Which means there was a Cars Hitler, a Cars holocaust, a Cars Pacific War, a Cars D-Day, a Cars nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a Cars Rape of Nanking, a Cars Battle of Iwo Jima...
This leads to so many important questions, like: were the Cars Little Boy and Fat Man nukes sentient? Was it a suicide mission? Are ALL Cars nuclear weapons sentient? Did Tsar Bomba have a personality?
What kind of car was Car Hitler? A VW? A forklift?
Was there a Cars 9/11? Were the planes hijacked, or were the planes themselves radicalized?
I could go on

what are you talking about, the best is always ice because it slows or stops enemies

You seem upset. Did you recently lose your favorite website or something?

TOO

oh. you're just a confused angry little child falseflagging to fit in

If only they could discuss it in their own thread...

Fire isn't consistently the best of the elements, in fact I feel like developers have caught on to the "simple to understand" trend and in many cases fire isn't that great, just to subvert this expectation and not give Fire the "most obvious" choice. Some examples:
>Heroes of Might & Magic 3's Fire spell school is by far the most situational and the least benefitting off of mastering it on a hero, also Fire Elementals, objectively, really suck
>Baldur's Gate 2 has plenty of good fire spells but the "top dog" spells are generally not from the fire element and many enemies are fire resistant, i.e. Exploding Skull is a superior spell to Fireball because it explodes at the same radius, has no saving throw, and it's less likely to be resisted
>Diablo 2's Fire Sorceresses struggle with fire immunes in Hell difficulty, who seem fairly disproportionate, and preferrably have to be hybrids to be able to prevail with low (i.e. no Infinity) gear, and arguably ,Lightning Sorceresses are better straight-up damage dealers
>from the same game, Fire Bowazon, Fire Paladin and Fire Druid are inferior to their "Cold" versions
>Fire Mage in WoW requires, usually, way, way more aptitude than the Arcane Mage and not every expansion makes it even worth it; whereas Arcane was for the longest time a 1111211112, very consistent, spec, Fire would sometimes flounder due to its RNG mechanics and toughness to use

I find that only in systems where "generalist" mages exist that do not have to specialize in a given school (i.e. Dragon Age Origins; Fireball is a very nice, repeatable, low-cost, AoE knockdown with huge damage and some DoT) they will have a lot of use from fire magic, but in games with dedicated fire specialists they're rarely the top choice.

To be fair, we are on Sup Forums, so it is guaranteed that we have nothing better to do.

>people giving serious vidya related responses drowned out by retards trying to get the thread deleted when they could just shitpost a twitter thread instead
boredom is fine, it's undirected boredom that makes you a waste

I don't think anyone is actually trying to get the thread deleted.
They're just being ridiculous because what is and isn't allowed is arbitrary now.

AAAAAHHH HFUCK FUCJKK UFI CNNO HSNIT FUCK AASSHFH Iim ruoovhyoyu pussy shit fcuk lmao kek kek ekhs iosnhahah ahwat set eh lmaip IM PICKLE RIIIICKKK XDDD hahaha le amriite THIS i cam here to post this uboated tTHANKS FOR THE GOLD KIND STRANGER

Fire is hot.

so when are we going to do something about those fucking jews

Posts like this are proof that shithole Sup Forums needs to be deleted already, it has done nothing but made think those retards they own this place.

if you delete Sup Forums it will flood out into the rest of this site like a ruptured septic tank.
Trust me you don't want that.

>make most enemies fire resistant
>give all the good fire spells huge aoe that hits all your allies and even yourself
easiest way to shit on fire

hownew.ru
moot already deleted Sup Forums and it was predictably a huge fucking clusterfuck
When you retards realize that censorship doesn't stop discussions from happening? It only makes people mad and prone to discussing that thing even more.

sorry i'm not a weeb

LOL

Stop. V is not your personal playground for anything you want to talk about. This board is for video games very specifically.

Take it to pol otherwise.

>made think those retards
Nice, very subtle.

Maybe for a week or two, eventually they will spread out and go infest somewhere else like the fucking useless parasites they are.

...

...

isn't that what they did on ds3 having most of the bosses and enemies resist to fire (or darkness)?

oh get over yourself

Fire has average damage + DoT
Ice has low damage + Slow
Lightning has lowest minimum and highest maximum damage + stun

>making lightning rngshit
I hate when games do this.

What about loli elemental

just go to trash to jerk off come on stop kidding yourselves

fuck off waterfag

I want to fuck that element!

what in the fuck am i looking at

Go back to gaf

...

>Fire, Ice, Lightning damage are in game
>They have no unique qualities besides sprites

Earthbound had different uses for each spell.

>wind elemental
>only hurt by one spell you can easily miss
>this spell requires you do put points into elemental magic
>didn't pick up spell nor did I put points into right branch because fuck that branch of magic
>unkillable enemy that will force you into a corner and kill you all day long
>did I mention if you don't have a wizard you are fucked?

cant make this shit up

Thats what i love about divinity original sin, you can even combine elements for attacks, like earth + fire and water + lightning.

What game?

>fire boss
>"let's turn up the heat!"
>Achievement unlocked!
>"Out of the frying pan...."

>enemies don't nullify elemental damage
>they absorb it.

It's the most masculine and primal of elements.

Hello what thread was this from?

>lava boss
>"Is it hot in here, or is it just me?"
>Achievement unlocked!
>"...Into the fire."

Shame in the second one they nerfed magic into the ground and kept physical simple and stupid powerful. Not only does the armor system discourages you from splitting your damage between the two, but enemies begin resisting your elemental damage like crazy and it only ever gets better for magic once you start steamrolling enemies with your click-to-win source skills.
To be on topic, fire is one of the most resisted elements in divinity original sin 2 as well.

m-more

Fire is boring. Wind/Lightning is where it's at.

Once you start posting these, I expect you to not stop.

>only two combinations
You are smalltime

It's the only 2 to my knowledge
