I… actually agree with everything you said. Plasma is really solid, and Fire is just. overshadowed by the most overpowered magic in the game (shadow (please nerf shadow it is still braindead op))
Fire is good in certain builds (i.e. Explosion mage for the stun) but is usually just… eh.
^^^^
worst magic btw
all of this proves that poison needs a buff
poison is good for sustained damage on something like conjurer, because it basically removes the opponent’s regeneration for as long as you’re fighting
on it’s own it’s kinda eh, it works but it’s not that great. but with conjurer imbue you get the bleed synergy along with higher damage multiplier, so it’s great for applying a high damage long duration DoT
(until you fight a wind mage)
factual
also there is a method to dealing with wind mage its called aggro
glass
its crazy good
I know I sound like I’m glazing it a little but once you land a high damage ult art blast on your opponent, they start taking MASSIVE DoT which can easily be prolonged by things like surge
you’d be surprised that wind mages aren’t actually completely bulletproof and usually take a decent amount of tick damage before they can charge
My rivals got snow
Real sleeper lag magic
Not quite explosion but damn it is painful sometime
i agree with this fire needs a buff dawg 
Damage reduction do not reduct your damage if you are the one to cadt both magic.
