Fire is Losing its Specialty

AuthorMessage

Each school pretty much has their own specialty for example:

Fire: Damage over Time spells (e.g. Link, Scald, Rain of Fire)

Storm: High damage (e.g. Triton, Storm Lord, Leviathan)

Ice: Raising Defences (e.g. Tower Shield, Legion Shield, Ice Armor)

Life: Healing (e.g. Satyr, Dryad, Rebirth)

Death: Draining Spells (e.g. Ghoul, Vampire, Wraith)

Myth: Summoning Minions (e.g. Troll Minion, Minotaur Minion, Talos)

Balance: A Bit of Everything (e.g. Spectral Blast, Judgement, Bladestorm)

I find that fire is losing its specialty to ice (Frostbite, Snow Angel) and death (Poison, Skeletal Dragon). To make things even worse people are constantly demanding new DoT spells, which I find annoying. This needs to stop before fire loses its specialty and gets cast into nothing.

Oh how i disagree. Fire has LOTS of DoT spells.
1. Fire elf
2. Link
3. Heckhound
4. Power link
5. Fire dragon
6. Rain of fire
7. Scald

Now i may be missing some but 7 DoT spells and its losing its specialty?

Oh, but Fire can heal, right? Doesn't that mean it's taking away Life's "specialty"? It can also remove blades~isn't that a Myth ability?

Seems like you need to rethink your position here, young wizard.

The spells you mentioned are not new, and do not take anything away from Fire. They are simply welcome additions to two schools considered "weak" by some.
All schools are equal if you play them correctly.

you forgot Deer Knight for Death.

But no. Fire still reigns supreme in DoT spells damage wise.

I think fire still has their specialty covered pretty darn well. Sure some of the other schools have some dot spells, but fire still comes out on top in terms of dots. Death has skeletal dragon and poison, while ice has frostbite, snow angel and ice elf. Storm also technically has storm/lightning elf, but it's their only dot spell.

Aside from those spells, fire is pretty much the dominate school in terms of dots, plus with link and power link, they can remove both weaknesses and infections at the same time, something no other school can do, so there's that.

Playing both death and storm I do not want damage over time spells on either of them. Let fire and ice have damage over time spells, let storm and life be storm and life not some cheap knock off crossed hybrid.
