So I started with the Fire book. I'm definitely happy with my decision to start that way, but now that I have a few circles under my belt, I'm considering dropping Fire Shard for one of the other intro TM spells. I have Fireball now as a second TM spell, so my thought is that it may be worthwhile to pick up something else to diversify my elemental damage a little bit. FS or FB, with Ignite on my weapon, and MoA on the target has been great for dealing out damage, but I'm worried that I am too invested into one elemental damage type, and will have issues if I come across something fire resistant?

Thoughts? If I did drop FS for a different intro TM spell, what would other suggest? Are they all pretty much equal in strength, or do some of them kinda suck? I notice a couple are multi-strike, whereas others are single, what are the benefits and draw-backs of the two?

Thanks in advance!

I fancy my character a storm mage, but a lot of that evolved through play and due to my spell choices. I personally have Gar Zeng. My thought processes was this

1) I want to have one of teach "type" of spell. I don't have a multi-strike spell through other means, so I should probably get one on my intro spell.
2) Physical damage is much better protected against by most armor than elemental damage. Plus, many other spells do element+physical. Also, that's why I train melee and ranged weapons. So I don't need Stone Strike or Air Lash.
3) Geyser does fire/impact. So does Fireball. I'll have FB, so I'll have little reason to use Geyser.

So that left me with looking at FS or GZ. I honestly went with GZ because I liked the look more, but FS is cool too. GZ does fire+elec, which is nice.

That said, pick the one you like. Multi-strike is of some use against the few champion opponents you'll face during invasions and such, but AFAIK that's the only real niche it has. This isn't the most important choice ever.
