Its tricky. With imperil against monsters with the same resistance stats dark and holy do less. However across the board the average resistance is lower for dark and holy. The fastest mages are still dark mages but they seriously lack stamina. Holy has damage increasing debuff and enhanced heal so its popular for grindfest, and all arenas.
As mentioned elemental does get better at level 450, but last time I calculated it a long time ago its should only decrease clear speeds by 10%. I'll get to 450 eventually.
So you (mages in general) can't consistently clear PFUDOR arenas with pure phase-element without Imp everything? You either need Imp
and/or 2xlvl prof bonus, but with holy you can just get forged full phase and blast away?
