which skills? spells are affected by energy and energy factor. spells can be affected by strength, but you need strength factor for that to qualify.

then yes those. that and wildfire I think are "primal spells" where they use strength instead of energy to boost.

the skill icon in the picture you posted says strength gives damage there.

I don't know if i have items with + energy factor option (with high energy), will it affect to Poison Flash and Wildfire?
I have tested but with low energy (i'm a very newbie ^_^!) there is no change!

in the case of wildfire/pflash, it's strength. most other spells use energy as the synergy, which is why casters almost always max energy.

That sounds perfect, but...

So no Euphoria.

I'm thinking I just switch to crafted gloves and/or helm, and focus on pierce for a few damage types, rather than rainbow damage with little pierce.
Thanks for the input.

If you're playing an older version, then you should still have pierce MO's too, right?

Yep, 15 per item @ +2 levels each, doubled for crafted/honorific.
I'll drop the lightning/cold procs (from gloves and helm) and focus more on physical/magical, fire and poison damages with pierce for the fire and poison.
So I go for fascinating or shimmering shrine crafts, then MO for extra pierce? +paladin skills (1 for gloves and 4 for helm) and maybe an on attack proc like spellbind for helm, but what for gloves? Stormblast won't help me as I have no weapon damage.

I would still have 50% ctc Balefire, 30% Miasma, 5% Disintegrate + Blood Thorns, Symphony of Destruction and Vessel of Judgement, all with 600%+ spell damage.

lorenado on attack for gloves. spellbind won't help you that much. if euphoria isn't a thing, use rapture to cover your speeds, and you can use fire/poison
