Fresh 20 Sorc Cold Savant gameplay test

Cold savant question: What sort damage were you getting (ungeared) on triple-stacked Niac's Biting Cold?

[WolfSpirit]

Well im a very oldschool player as you can see by my join date.

So the moment they screwed up the game and changed around a lot of the colors to stupid ones, I changed them back.

DDO classic was red numbers, thus mine are red for spell damage that is not reduced. Yellow for reduced amounts. White for completely negated amounts. Purple for amplified.

-
Same here, I revert the colors on every created character. Even just the test ones.
I do take it a step further and put bright yellow on all "joined" Party members. Whoever thought dull Gray for party members playing in dark dungeons a good idea, was without their morning coffee that day!
`
As for the testing, Thanks for all the feedback guys. Im noting it all carefully!

Air is viable.. It does 'work'.

But so far what i've seen is acid or cold is a better savant. Empower those spells that do the most damage. AND don't have screwy casting mechanics that don't flow well for fast combat.

I'd rank it as.... acid>fire|cold>electric. Fire and cold are very comparable. They just fit the best to different areas of the game overall.

I am sure Air will work with standard gear...I just had a much easier time with Cold, with no gear.
