Just to preface this passionate rant; I’d be a Waterbender if this was Avatar: TLA. What can I say, I like tidal waves and floods?

This been really bothering me for years now that the ONLY element that there’s a severe lack of in our repertoire is water. It feels like they’ve rubbed salt in the wound with giving Y’shtola Water IV as well! They’ve completely ditched Earth and Wind on WHM now too, so now we only have Red Mage’s lesser versions of those as well, while still obviously having NO water spells. Red Mage could have filled that aesthetic void easily. But nope. Why? Who knows. You’d think with Red Mage being all about balancing the elements they’d at least make SOME offensive use of Water, but nope. You’d think after witnessing the raw power of the great flood they’d be inclined to use that abundance of water for offence. But nope.

To make things worse they continually nerf Fluid Aura every expansion... just get rid of it at this point, it’s such a shell of what it used to be it’s a waste of space now. They explained that even the healing spells are wind-aspected. So what gives SE? Do ya’ll hate water that much? I just think it’s such a cool element and seeing it get ignored by all our jobs yet used frequently by enemies and allies is so frustrating.

GIVE US WATER MAGIC ALREADY!
