A lot of monsters are weak to Fire, but Fire in general is an inferior element to Ice/Holy because it has no special effect on monsters and the additional power over Ice is usually negligible. This is different for Paladins since they're a melee class and they already have plenty of disabling ability, but it doesn't work out too well for other classes that use Fire. A large number of Rangers don't get Inferno (lame), Phoenix is vastly inferior to Frostprey and only has 10% more damage as compensation, Flamethrower has even less range than the pitiful range of Ice Splitter for some reason, Explosion does less damage over time than Ice Strike, is slower, and has a delay before casting, Meteor Shower does the same thing as Blizzard but doesn't freeze... Ugh. I hate how my favorite element sucks so badly.
Poison and Lightning are also neglected elements, but at least there's Poison Mist, and Lightning is just as good as neutral on just about everything but bosses since there isn't much that resists or is weak to it.
