Idk why anyone would max one element alone, that seems sub-optimal and pointless. Is there any extra benefit?

Otherwise, what you should do is put enough points to use skills in whatever element, and the rest go into polymorph so you get more intelligence points, increasing ALL skill damage by 5%, not just 1 element. Then once you max Intell and polymorph, you just go Wits and Hunstman for even more damage, and get crit on spells. That's how I steamrolled the game with my geo/pyro mages along with ranger+rogue.

Polymorph OP smile


The biggest benefit from Polymorph isn't the extra stat point it gives. That actually gives you the smallest increase of the things you can invest in to increase spell damage. The biggest benefit is rank five to unlock Apotheosis so you can use more than a single source guzzling spell. Early on, putting points into Polymorph for the stat point is a huge waste.
