Give RDM Water and Blizzard already!

[Archwizard]

I might have said "maybe they're saving them for something", but considering how little we got with Shadowbringers, I think that reasoning is flawed.

In all likelihood, the reason is probably just that WHM doesn't have any Water magic (because as a healer, they don't need more than the bare basics of an attack rotation) so giving us the Ver- iteration of a spell that doesn't exist would be jarring, and giving us Blizzard without something to balance it would defeat the job's aesthetic.

Or something. We all know if they wanted to they could just skip past that entirely. They could even justify having RDM copy spells from other casters. Not like they have an explanation for why SMN can call on a secret Demi-Primal that was an optional boss.

That's understandable, BUT it still doesn't disregard the fact that we see Y`Shtola casting Water IV, which looks absolutely awesome I must add, and blasting mobs to hell and back with it. Yes she's a Trust and their job/class is unique to their design, but come on, Water is there, give it to Red Mage.

Plus if they do end up giving RDM all 6 elements, it would be neat to Counter each spell with their opposites for stronger potencies. Doubtful it would happen, even though as of right now, technically you can.

Verfire >> Veraero / Verstone >> Verthunder [Elemental Weaknesses]

Verblizzard >> Verfire would be a bit difficult, unless they add it to their own spell. Idk, just slinging some extra stuff out there lol
