Fire/Ice vs Elec/Acid (Newb)
I have pretty new to DDO and have started a wizard on a team with some friends. I am trying to figure out my enchantment path (3rd lvl human).
Is there a conventional wisdom about which path is better for damage augmentation: Fire/Ice vs. Elec/Acid?
Thanks for any help.

I'm a fire/ice fan.
Against harder enemies such as bosses or underbosses let a tank draw agro and don't hesitate to pop off an acid spell first thing. That will give it time to do damage while everyone is prepping there kill shots. Then while your tank(s) is/are pinning them in place, drop the baddest firewall you can on them. If you have frost lance use it as well.
One thing to keep in mind, AOE ice spells sometimes can negate AOE fire spells. For example, sleet storm(I think) can put out firewall. Elec/acid spells don't have that issue.
Always boost your wand enhancements and carry a "Sack O' Magic" for every other occasion.
Sidenote, fire is good for eliminating web and obscurring mist spells.(Burning Hands)
hope this helps:)
