Is somebody is burning it has guaranteed petrify which is busted because you just get another free hit off and it does 20% more damage when something is burning and the stats are decent and it leaves clouds and it’s undeniably the coolest looking magic
youre acting like other synergies dont exist and if clouds are unchanged then they wont be that good in ao either, unless youre rocking an intensity build ig?
besides you arent even a tester so these are just your thoughts
I will only go ice if it gives me that chiling aura
But like if somebody is on fire and then you petrify them fire does 20% more damage if something is petrified

It’s on the trello and I’ve seen ash bozo I don’t need to be a tester
And clouds are broken it’s just constant damage and zoning plus you can’t see through it so it’s great for hiding to recharge energy
thats cool and all but it proves literally nothing
like i said there are way more synergies out there that might be better. Ice with frozen for example or using magics that when combined can cause paralysis. These are just a few things i could name but theres way more ofc.
ah yes you dont need to be a tester to know which magics and magic combinations are good in ao. Nice one bozo 
You can make predictions all you want but if your predictions dont represent the real thing then whats the point
they are meh in wom and if they are unchanged in ao they would be meh there too, unless like i said intensity investment changes that
There are definite stats on the trello so you don’t need to be a tester lol. And in one of the showcase videos I saw how much the ash clouds covered a field just after a few moves it is definitely changed. And petrify is almost the same as paralysis

okay? thats cool and all but if your magic has amazing stats but is countered by literally every weapon and fighting style it def wont be the best magic. You gotta actually play with all the magics in ao with different synergies and different opponents each time to actually know what magics work best.
id like to see that video if you still have it, if not ig ill have to go search for it
idk what youre trying to prove with this, also it actually isnt bc you can escape from petrification but you cant from paralysis (unless that was also changed)
(Arcane Odyssey Pre-Release Showcase (Introductory PvE Content) - YouTube)
And there aren’t any weapons or fighting styles that have synergies like (clashes 50% better with light) or anything like that so idk what you mean by weapons or fighting styles countering magics
thx for the vid link, ill take a look at it
im pretty sure ao will have some weapon and fighting style abilities clashing with magic but that wasnt exactly what i meant with that. I was more so talking about for example sunken swords inflicting the soaked status effect. My bad for calling it countering cuz it really isnt, should have named it something like weapon + magic synergies being better than some synergies that we can find on the trello
edit: took a short look at the vid and although you can create large clouds quite fast the clouds themselves arent too hard to look through. I can see a bad-mediocre pvper struggling with this but a good pvper shouldnt be hindered much by those clouds. The passive dmg is nice but isnt game changing or anything. Also we dont know if hes using any intensity in his build (unless i somehow missed him showing his gear)
I doubt he’s using intensity because those clouds do look pretty small and comparable to wom clouds. Personally I’m gonna have a health/damage accessory build and a full intensity build so if I want I can always abuse massive ash clouds
we cant rule it out but i do agree with you
but my point about clouds not being too much of a hinderance still stands. Although it might be a whole different story in game 
most people are prolly gonna use a similar build yeah
but having an intensity build on hand is gonna be fun to experiment with for sure 
there is no best magic. its all based on skill.
crystal still trash
acid best maejik
source: trust me bro
Children this is incorrect
True, water is the best.
Either water or shadow
I say water so that aiming is optional but if you need speed then shadow
