That would make raising multiple grids less bothersome. Though the current skill leveling system is still pretty terrible, regardless of if you have easy access to fodder, in part because the interface is extremely unresponsive. I wonder if this is the case for those living in Japan playing the DMM version.
Define "whaling" and "good weapons".Personally I find it hard to focus on one element as getting good weapons and hime in one element seems to require whaling.
No one is arguing that an elemental advantage build will ultimately be weaker than focusing on a single element if you have infinite resources (time, money).Perhaps clearing higher level individual content requires focusing on one element
