Its not about the Elemental Wheel. This is not FFXI, thats the problem.

Actually the fact there is no elemental wheel is entirely the problem why it is not so simple to implement new Egi play styles and give them all an equal reason to be used. The only reason it worked in XI was coz there was a proper elemental wheel that dictated what element was strong/weak against another, giving the SMN a reason to use all the Avatars. However in ARR there is no proper elemental wheel, yet each Primal/Egi still belongs to a particular element.

In ARR's current state it would be near impossible for SMN to get an Egi of every Primal and for it to have it's own unique uses (there is only so many types of pet play styles). So the only real options going forward are to introduce a proper Elemental Wheel so each Egi is strong/weak to a particular element. This of course would break BLM and force SE to rework it (never going to happen) Or they could just go with the Egi glamour option and work on the 3 Egi types (Ranged/Tank/Melee) which is actually way more efficient and cuts down development time without effecting BLM and allows new Egi to be released with a new Primal, as SMN will no longer have to wait for level cap increases for them to be released as they are just technical glamours.
