Element system needs changes?

So now your adding 6xA (A being gear sets.) of data to the game.

For.. almost no reason.

No reason? Adding depth to the game is surely something that is considered "no reason". It's laughable when people talk about data limitation when we actually have elemental resistances already but totally useless.

You can add depth to the game in other ways. Like adding effects and procs and cool stats to gear.

So before I go into Frozen Content, I wear my ice resistance gear and switch to my fire damage gear. Then my gameplay is EXACTLY THE SAME AS NOW except I am carrying around super specialized gear/hotbars that only work for some content. Oh no, the next boss is a fire boss! Now I have to equip my fire resistance gear and my ice hotbar! Then play the game EXACTLY THE SAME AS NOW except I have blue glow effects instead of red.

That's some depth we've added here.

So much depth and Wow.

This wouldn't really add any depth though. Like Nektulos says, it's unnecessary complexity and clutter for very little gain. Having to carry about very specific sets of equipment and weapons for very specific encounters isn't fun, it's mindless and kind of annoying.
