Default All bolts at Rank 1: yay or nay?

Well I've quit Fireball (Since it was too tough to do) so I can pursue Thunder, but for some reason I can NEVER EVER come across the pages hunting them, and a bunch of people I know already got only 1 page to go. So I've come to realize that Thunder, just won't happen right now.

So I was wondering, How badass would a mage be if he ranked all his bolts to 1? Now I know far well that Passive defense will render ice useless no matter what I do, but FIRE can still knock back with deadly force regardless of PD! And Lightning, lets be honest, is just plain fun to use when it does over 150 damage or more to five enemies when fully charged. Not to mention the sweet titles that you end up getting when you rank them.

Besides, I still can't make up my mind which Advanced spell I want. I'm getting them all sooner or later, but I'm going to rank only 1 since trying to rank them all is almost near stupid.

REAL QUESTION: So should I bother ranking my bolt spells to 1 BEFORE I get adv magics? Or should I just work on Adv and that alone?

And no "MaGeS R StUpId" stuff please. This doesn't concern Maplestory.

I type alot....

Excellent thunder mages should have all bolts to 1 (after the 'int-affects-magic-balance-now' patch ). Once you have decent int and dex, thunder will often hit for maximum damage.

Decent ranked firebolt could be needed for magic PD monsters.

Decent ranked ice/lit bolt is needed to clean up remainings after your thunder/icespear.

When you quit fireball to go to thunder did it mess up anything on the fireball quest? can you still go back to it later?

I dislike going any further than rank D with icebolt. Wisp enchants are KILLER good if you are a lightning/firebolt specialist, but kills you if you have icebolt above rank D.

I think rank 1 bolts are all really nice, though with enough int, you'll be doing good damage with rank D ice as well at a 1 mp cost. Its a good deal if you ask me.

I dislike icebolt in some way
oh well, there's a lot of people with high rank icebolts to go on fusion magic runs with (in future)

P.s. Kitae, thanks to Sai i found which one is Lute :3
