Please flame me if this is not correct, or (not as desirable) correct me; for instance, does it really help with Ifrit fight?
Actually it does. Most mobs have multiple elements so isn't easly seen, but mobs strongly weak to an element get owned from adverse element. On ifrit fists of wind blow him away more than any blm, ice elemental get owned by fists of fire, eft get shitons of damage from thunder etc
