Is There a Reason Why Conjruers and White Mages Don't Use Water Spells?

[Cleretic]

I never got the elemental conjurer back then, they quickly tossed that idea out the window with whitemage, as traditional of a healer as it gets. The elemental side would fit more into a druid/shaman playstyle, which this game is lacking as it's a combination of dps and healer. If anything it looks like some new caster job will be the elemental mage job eventually.

1.0 Conjurer was just fundamentally a completely different class for a completely different game. And... well, I was going to say it probably wasn't a good one for that game either, but apparently Conjurer was the most popular class in 1.0, so they were doing something right.

...or possibly doing something wrong and just overgeared Conjurer to hell to the point where it was just way more fun/interesting to play. I didn't play 1.0, but that'd actually be something of a problem I'd see with 1.0 Conjurer in a game with elemental weaknesses: they just had more game to play, because there was basically a system reserved for them.
