It's a trash stat with trash materia, and while I understand there needs to be something that people can transmute freely or vendor or sell for scraps on the MB, they could just replace elemental material with clear materia and call it a day.

That also takes away elements from the Character pane, which would be less memory usage for the UI (no text, no bits, no icons). Could also streamline the PVP resistances (slow, sleep, etc) to scale with the character's inherent magic resistance from armor and do the same with blunt/slash/pierce with regards to defense. BOOM the entire Resistances tab is now gone.
