well even though curse gives more exp its better to go with fire strike b/c for fire strike u need airs fire and minds and since airs only require lvl 1 rcing u get alot more airs per ess and fires are lvl 14 and minds are lvl 2 so by doing those instead of curse u get alot more of them per ess and theyre way easier to craft plus for curse u need to wear full rune to make it fail for sure or do it on the zammy mage and curse doesnt give hitpoints exp
