So it just seems like what should be equally desirable weapon enhancements are not very balanced.

Hellfire just does the most damage right out

Magic blast does less but less random? Stil less overall

Cold Blast does less, it just does it in a seperate single tick of damage. Hit per hit its still less damage and slightly delayed.

Lightning again does less.

 

So rather than just pure damage maybe they could have their own little tricks?

Fire could add a DoT

Cold could do less damage and slow enemy attack speed

Lightning could add damage and increase weapon speed

Magic Blast could...restore mana? or dispel ? or just do the most damage? Or fire could simply do the most damage w/o a special affect.

Either way it makes them each unique and desirable in different situations.
