^ This. We simply don't know what's going to happen till it's implemented and experiencing it. They may do what they did to FFXI in...2004/2005 and apply a Magical patch, which fixed (or nerfed in the words of manaburners) magic resistances and calculations.

So elemental fists of fury could likely be the best thing to happen to battle strategy for all we know.
