All of you try to stay with me on this. EARTH STRIKE IS BETTER THEN FIRE BLAST FOR TRAINING! How? 1 death rune costs 250gp-300gp. 1 mind rune costs 10-25gp. The max hit with fire blast is 16. Therefore the exp for this is 16 x 4=64. The max hit with earth strike is 7. Therefore the exp for this is 7 x 4-28. With the 300gp you use to buy 1 death rune you can buy 15 mind runes for 20gp each. So now it is still 7 x 4=28 but now you have to multiply that by 15 because you have 15 mind runes. 15 x 28=420. So in the end would you rather get 64 exp or 420 exp?
