Elemental Wheel, What's the point?

Surely the problem is not the elemental wheel but the fact that the single job that is supposed to be a magical attacker can't attack in every element. Maybe a non-elemental nuke is called for, ultima/shadowflare/comet/meteor etc have all been this type of spell in past FF games, why not do the same here?

If they don't wanna give every class all ele's then they need to get rid of it.

This is what I'm talking about. I don't like the fact that even though it can attack in three elements, it's only main damage dealer is lightening.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the elemental wheel Firon. Adds another type of element besides ranged and melee to combat. I would say some would agree that magic needs another overhaul for attack spells. Why can't we have an AoE and single target of each element? >.>
