We don't need a rune-blade. We already have:

* Fire/lightning blade - GNB
* Ice blade - SAM
* Holy blade - PLD
* Darkness blade - DRK
* All elements - RDM *and* NIN

And each of these are way more flavorful alone than they ever would be shoved into one-third of a runeblade's rotation. Not to mention the fact that we have multiple elemental effects for all of these weapons through glamours. It's just...a totally empty and meaningless concept to define a runeblade by elemental affinities in FF XIV.
Fair enough. Agree to disagree. I mean, I'm not exactly married to Fire Ice Lightning, but I suspect by the rest of your post that "infusing your weapon with energy" is a no sell on you since I mean, Darkness isn't exactly an element but you included it.
