Removing elemental nukes from WHM

[Shougun]

Shougun - if you used cold to calm your mind, why not use the cooling aspect of water rather than ice? Chilling your brain is very different from calming your brain. I just don't see BLM using water which is quite restorative-heavy in the game's lore as a heavy source of ability.

I said tried hard, like people probably would just buy it as "its magic" *waving hands in the air* lol


I think fire, lightning share for aero, stone is pretty decent - then blizzard and water stay sole ownership. Besides that to my knowledge the water, solid or not has always been a very "meh" DD spell even for a decked out BLM its mostly a debuff (slow, snap to ground, reduce aggro).

Yup, that's what I'm getting at. Let Fire, Lightning, Wind and Earth elements be cross-class, but Ice and Water remain class-specific. Either way in lore, there will be too many contradictions otherwise.

As for the debuff issue...I hope that with Arcanist coming out as the king of debuffs, it frees up the THM elements to be truly destructive in power. It seems to have worked with CNJ already (Stone lost its magic evasion debuff, and instead is more powerful in the alpha footage) so it could work with THM and it's Ice spells as well.

BLM had an Ice wheel? IDK
