[quote=duriel123]At lower ranges F/P will win out in terms of dps, there is little doubt about that. Once you get to ~1m range (this is an estimate) I/L starts to catch up due to the 50m cap limitation on Mist eruption and eventually overtake F/P somewhere around 1-1.5m range.
Basically, before capping with ME
F/P (FH + ME combo) >> I/L (chain lightning) > F/P paralyze
After capping with ME and before hitting ~30m per line on chain lightning
F/P (FH + ME combo) > I/L (chain lightning) > F/P paralyze
After capping with ME and hitting ~30m per line on chain lightning but less than 30m per line on paralyze.
I/L (chain lightning) > F/P (FH + ME combo) > F/P paralyze
After hitting over 30m per line on paralyze and chain lightning
I/L (chain lightning) > F/P paralyze> F/P (FH + ME combo)
Finally, after hitting 50m per line on everything
F/P paralyze> I/L (chain lightning) > F/P (FH + ME combo)[/quote]
^This. Seems very accurate to me. Still I would say your average player will get more damage from a f/p then they ever will from a i/l.

Without funds - F/P
With funds - its kinda complicated lol
Some of the more experienced mages can answer that part
F/P has more damage per minute, but I/L also has high damage and both are good choices imo. This is a common question and just looking at past forum posts would have got you your awnser.
