Are elemental type attacks worth it if you are not a mage? Ex: Flame slash which is +2 fire.
Elemental attacks from any non-elemental magic skill set uses the same rules as any other attacks from these (like damage depends on STR), they only add an element to your attack (or override that of your weapon). So they are as effective as normal attacks, as long as you avoid the enemies strong points.
Problem with these attacks is, that they are only usable in very specific situations (when an enemy is weak to both types of the attack), so they are dead command slots, which could be used for better skills. They are also weaker than non elemental attacks, if you don't calculate the extra damage from elemental weakness.
So a much more effective approach is to equip a weapon with +1 to the element, that matches the weakness of most enemies in current area. Note that for example +1 fire and +9 untyped results in same damage, as +10 fire against enemies weak against fire. This way you can use your strongest attacks, but still exploit the enemies elemental weakness.
hello friend how u been and hello everyone

i remember when i was with my friends in WKC1,i was focused mostly in being a spear without shield and i use the shield only in hard battles to tank 3 dragons for example in miners problem II,in that time i got 5 spears 4 elemental (MAXED) and the first spear was none elemental which was the nice shiny blue one (i forgot the name)

that has sleep affect,like the ice dragon spear (+13 ICE),Hero spear(+13 Earth) and the 4rd one i forgot the name the red spear which everyone liked which had the (INT) effect on it i added fire maxed (LVL10),and last the green spear which had (DEX+11) and (VIT+11) i added wind maxed (LVL+10) to be honest some do disagree with me i challenged them into dragon soloing in aged dragon III to test the spears on different elemental dragons the subject that they didn't agree with me about it the number of elemental points that added on the spear some say (+1) is more than enough while the rest leveling up focused on the spear power it self which is (+9 ATK),and others say it will be decent if its (+3) elemental and other (+7 STR),while i said as an elemental anti weaponry use only is full maxed elemental,for me with who agree with me knows how the impact really is for using it as anti elemental weapon only when i was in that time i can solo 2 fire dragons while letting them stagger both of them in no time and let them fall in the ground and each (normal hit) was decent amount of elemental craziness,there were times i made critical hit up to 3333 or more but,also the dragons weak points is Blunt attacks no thrust but even that didn't stop my ice maxed elemental spear to cut through and do 2500 dmg and more,i don't use crazy amount of AC only ground 3AC and areal 3AC to let,when it comes to facing the greaver lol his weak point is thrust i always enjoy even that 2 critical hits on the lethal greavers was 3500 once and second directly 3000 using the fire spear:mario:,there were times when i met some cool guy and became friend with him then he wanted to prove that i'm wrong about what i'm using somehow i fail on the test because he did more damage with his normal weapons i don't know how i was sleepy that time and i don't know what even my set was and when i challenged him again i won but somehow he won again,the test was that we use the same sets and same LEVELS also no accessories with same lvl of weapons but somehow there is something is not the same i think he was wearing something batter as a test in the end i told him lets be naked and we use the spears only and we used same amount and type of AC combo it,there was something weird on that test i won once he won it was like a tie but in the end i made it as normal topic and i told him thanks for your advice and i will try to make what u said to see if it will be any batter,when i did i felt my weapons became weaker by 30% or more which forced me to load my game to gain my normal sets again,shifting weapons in the battles is simple to me and became fun i don't mind to do it as long as it will help to deal more damage to the enemy,but in WKC2 is totally different now if i want to be affective as anti elemental in wkc2 i must own 3 types of weapons,as I'm an (SS) duel wielder i use dagger for thrust attacks like on trolls,axe for blunts like on golems,swords for slashes like on Cerberus,and when I'm Hell PISSED OFF!

when facing a none elemental monster like when facing a gold golem i just shift to the best dagger that has (MAG) stats and shift my rings to MAG as well also armor sets in few seconds then i will be warlock in no time and deal huge amount of damage using none elemental magic attack,as a warlock i must and have other set of skills linked with my own hand to hand skill sets and u can simply shift to other skill sets while in battle field some people don't know about it yet but try it u will love it,and u can put all the needed magic elemental attacks types i use,i forgot the names of the skills but here it is if u are interested to try the SS/warlock skill set,for SS u choose whatever suits you,and on other page of skill sets which is warlock because of too many elemental skill types there is no space to put them all in the same time u don't need them all all u need is the decent based ones with decent MP/AC amount to use,first as warlock when doing your combo skills (HUD) layout from the left add the RISE MAG skill,then 3 fire elemental after the weakest one which use 3 or 4 mp,then the fire 1AC,then the aerial fire attack i think the name of it is curse something i forgot the name u don't need any other crazy amount of AC or MP elemental ones as long as u are under GR30 later when u be GR30 u can try doing other crazy stuffs for fun also the aerial fire curse attack has (MUTE) affect which is cheap of MP and it don't use any AC which means it really good to use,that's 3 fire skills sets and for other elements do the same thing 3,3,3,3 different elements and u will see that u have space on your skill sets to add more skills to use the empty ones u can add counter shield and MP leach also the none elemental attack and lastly DEF UP and it will make your ATK down while u became warlock in this second u don't need ATK because u are using magic attacks but DEF UP is great to be tough when surrounded by enemies,and when u are don't u can shift your accessory to SS mode,and wear the AGI/DEX ring or STR ring if u thought on killing a golem while dueling AXE,in SS its allot to do

,also before i forget the same thing with the spear u could try maxing the elemental weapons for duel wielding imagine holding (+10)fire blade and dueling X2! of fire happiness of any ice monster on the face

,but the bad thing is when u wear (10+fire) blades and u using +2 fire skill attack it will be waste because the skill will delete whats on your weapon instead of adding it to the total and making it as +2 fire (10-8=2 fire)so instead u don't have to use the fire skill as long as your weapons are loaded with fire use your best combo none elemental skills like the 3AC or 5AC ones and your new elemental weapons will deal there best damage toward those who are weak to your weapon elemental types,many people have many thoughts and different thoughts and i made many different tests and my friends did i found using maxed elemental weapons as and anti weapon only to whom is weak only is extremely deadly and will land crazy amount of critical hits and even the rate of critical hits is raise by 20% or more check my pro by pressing my name for more tips for be SS/warlock that u may find usefull tips on my pro,i wont forget how i heard the dragon bones wear clicking all times when i was using maxed elemental spear weapons

the bones were asking for mercy,hope some or most of u found my tips useful somehow and sorry if i was not clear in some of what i sayed and wishing u all the best on the insane rare drops.
