I mean, technically we still have someone using Wind and Earth (White Mage hasn't lost any Water spells so it's still the same amount) in Red Mage. We also have Summoner using Earth and Wind as well. So it's really Water, but Water has been at the same dearth of activity since 2.0 started, it's unusual but again clearly not something they're in any rush to change.

So long story short there is a Water gap, but as noticeable as it may be they don't seem to really be hurrying to fill it. Does this mean we might get Geomancer? Certainly. But the one Geomancer we saw didn't even use offensive based Water magic, and if we aren't limiting things to offensive water magic then there are no doubt other spells that use water aether for non-offensive purposes.

You're also throwing around tautology a lot Vendal without a firm grasp of what it means or what I'm arguing, you should probably do a better job of reading before trying to make a claim that's false. None of what I'm arguing is a tautology.
