Fire damage

Fire damage is an elemental damage type that is usually caused by fire, flames, lava, or other related sources. The majority of fire damage sources are found in the Elementalist's Fire Magic line, though fire damage is also plentiful in the Ranger's Wilderness Survival skills. Fire damage is also inflicted by all Fire Magic wands and staves, all Divine Favor wands and staves (except for Stormray), and any martial weapon with a Fiery upgrade component.

Unlike in some games, fire damage has no inherent effects such as burning on hit. However, fire damage is often used to trigger (or triggered off of) burning.

Fire damage is particularly effective against plant-type monsters and many cold damage-based foes. Using fire damage against an Ice Golem will substantially increase damage one would otherwise do. Contrarily, fire damage is less effective against stony or fire-based enemies such as Burning Titans.

Since fire damage is fairly common, it is in a player's best interest to determine when to protect oneself against it, and when to wield it. Studying the makeup of PvE enemies in an explorable area or mission, or tweaking a PvP build to counter the metagame will likely involve the consideration of fire damage at some point.
