Hellplague - I'm now a firemage. The sword is decent dmg, fast, and +2 to fireskills. Im going to max out firewall and meteor. Firewall is good for quick killing, and if you've got defense meteor is *awesome*. Just fire it at yourself repeaditly and anything absolutely anything that steps in is dead in a few seconds.

An add on the firewall thing - I met someone who had maxed fire mastery and firewall to both to 20 - their firewall was HUGE and did about 4,000 dmg a second. Oo;
