Eh people seemed to derail off the point once again so I gave up for a while there.

Alhanelem: My original suggestion wasn't to remove WHM's ability to be offensive, but to simply open up the spectrum of elemental affinity by giving WHM more consistent spells (that have low resistance), and giving BLM the full elemental wheel, to be able to take advantage of elemental weaknesses.

So a sideways trade for WHM, but an upgrade for BLM & the elemental affinity that is currently barely existent..

However this topic keeps going off on a strange & twisted tangent so I've pretty much given up on the thread.
Have fun chasing each other's tail !
