From my brief view into public games on wizards, it seems everyone is picking one element and going all out with those type of skills. I am as well. I am really loving magic missle - glacial spike and frozen orb. What is everyones favorite element?
It's not that simple to answer. In terms of spells and runes I always feel drawn towards Arcane, but Lightning has a more powerful passive ability, Frost is more effective for CC, and Fire seems to have pure damage (as in most games). Right now I'm going with Frost, but might change depending on which legendaries I find. In RoS I'll most likely go Arcane (it's what I played in most of beta, Wave of Force ftw!) or multi-elemental (although it requires to spam 3 spells all the time to be most effective, and is more worthwhile on higher difficulties when monsters don't die from one hit).
I have loved cold in pretty much every Blizzard game I've played (D2 sorc, Frost Mage in WoW, etc). I tried out the new Frozen Orb last night, and it's pretty excellent. My sheet DPS is only 70k (I have terrible gear, never farmed after I hit 60 - I'm paragon 6, lol) and I was destroying Master difficulty.
So, it's cold for me and I doubt I'll ever be anything but cold from now on.
In the long run, I'm hoping to have a cold set (based around Frostburn), fire set (based around Cindercoat and Firebird set), lightning set (based around Fulminator and stun items), arcane set (based around Arcana set), and multielemental set (based around Tal Rasha set and pieces of the other elements).
