Whydoes fisher have no native abilities that cost GP, and only one learned ability?

I guess it's worth noting that the tooltip for the buff doesn't even say anything about shards/crystals and just says yield is increased under thunder affinity or something like that. Do any fish have elements associated with them?

Actually, it doesn't say that. Perhaps it's been changed since you last read it. When I read it a couple of days ago, it read "Increases shard yield" (period) Not even crystals or clusters. Just shards.

Try using a ward ability while fishing on fisher. The buff message is completely different from when you use it on miner/botanist.

I am only a level 30 fisher but what annoys me is that there isn't any perception jewelry, the only jewelry I have is GP which is great for botany and mining but does nothing for fishing.

I would really like some jewelry suitable for fishing, with gathering or perception on it.

No, it's exactly the same. I have just now tested it and confirmed that. "You gain the effect of Nald'thal's Ward". That's the buff message you get on Fisher and Botanist when you use Nald'thal's Ward. On all three classes, the description for the action says "Increases the fire shard yield by two"; this includes the tool tip for the hotbar button. The one place you *do* see "Affinity to the element fire is increased while gathering" is in the hover text for the buff icon. This text is present for all three classes as well. I don't think it's unreasonable to believe that minor text like that (which many players never see) is simply outdated.
