That's a bit extreme. BLM is fine with only 3 elements but the issue here is not something that can be seen yet.
Right now there's no boss that outright resists thunder completely so the issue of Thunder being the main source of damage doesn't exist, yet. Now let's jump ahead and consider things like Ramuh... here comes the issue. In that case BLM is useless as it can't compare to anyone else with their damage and wouldn't be able to participate due to gameplay issue not community stacking certain jobs. Blizzard and Fire spells aren't good damaging spells compared to the Thunder line.
My idea is simply to allow BLM to pick their main element of choice depending on the situation and be able to perform just as well with all three elements when it comes to raw damage.
