Mixed Damage?

Was pondering the idea of maybe a corrosive arrow of ice, or something like that...a fiery missile of lightning? Who knows...lemme know what you guys think..

I wonder if it would be of any use ...
If a mob has some resistance against one of the damage type, you'd better use the normal damage type against which he hasn't any resistance.
If he has no resistance, any damage type would be good.

Another thing would be that you shouldn't be able to use opposite damage types toghether like fire and cold.

The only good point of this would be getting both critical hits at the same time. (like the sphere of lightning and making the mob burn, which sounds logical to me ... like when a ligthning bolt hits a tree).

Mixed damage types for mage spells are already in the game.
for example Steam, Chill, Corrosion and Sparks...

(ok not entirely sure about everyone of them)

chill, steam, sparks and corrosion are mixed damage types but they are only mixed with magic. I can see a mage casting an icy missile of sparks or a flaming ball of acid. Many different combos available if it were to be coded.

Confusing but very interesting and quite effective I am sure

OT, but a mage capable of casting flaming balls of acid sounds frightening. First you get the blast, then you catch fire and all the time the acid eats you and your eq away. *shivers with fear*

Locked the thread. Reason: Already in game
