My question is this: according to M4H's analysis, the max damage for nature is 9,000 and for ice is 7335. Statistically, nature is superior. However, it has a slower rate of fire than ice (as said by a poster above). Is the difference in damage between nature and ice enough to justify a nature only strategy or should one do an ice only strategy because of the higher rate of fire despite the lower damage?
EDIT: Unless someone beats me to it, I'll try an ice only strategy when I get back from playing racquetball (1.5hrs).
