is best for caster" :facepalm: .
Anyway:
- smaxing Rain of Fire makes a difference in damage?
- what do you think about going smax Force of Nature + 50/50 str/ene?
- for TA (at least LC1) Elementals imo is better. Poison takes some time to kill amazons and RoF is hard to hit there
- don't know now with changes to sets but before nerf elemental set was quite good (without MO or jewels) for fire as main skill

Well i think this is only true for druid. For druid you get a ~35% damage boost and some -res with Robe of Leaves, but for other classes you will only get some -res. Where as the Queen of Glass will give nice FCR and better -res for other classes.

Also i rarely use MotW coz of short duration (extend with str) and negible damage bonus (tho in this patch bonus from armor is quite high).

The correct phrase is Dead Monsters Deal No Damage (or DMDND for short). :)

As stated before, mark of the wild boost is significant. I had a hard time replacing that armor even with one godly craft. I wish you could get that TU in ETH :D

> - smaxing Rain of Fire makes a difference in damage?

yes damage scaling per level is really good imo.

> - what do you think about going smax Force of Nature + 50/50 str/ene?

I tried that, Force of Nature doesn't add much dmg per skill level. You have the + all skills from your gear so it should scale regardless. I would much rather invest the points into lifeshield and poison flash as that provides way more survivability. In addition, your dmg skills benefit from flat energy

> - for TA (at least LC1) Elementals imo is better. Poison takes some time to kill amazons and RoF is hard to hit there

Haven't tried that but it makes sense. Would be great if a low level player could try this and confirm. Great suggestion thnx :D

> - don't know now with changes to sets but before nerf elemental set was quite good (without MO or jewels) for fire as main skill

Indeed it is. You could run that but crafted gear and TUs are so cheap and efficient that I found no reason to include the set. In addition, I like to have crafted gear for double %MF from MO.

That's not a typo that's just me reading at the level of a 5 year old :D thanks for the correction. Fixed!
