Quite the opposite, dream. Nobody's trying to discredit Light here. Rather, we are trying to not bloat Light more than what it is in reality and discrediting the other elements like a certain somebody else here is doing.

See, when you say Light has versatility as advantage not DPS, you're not thinking endgame. There is a reason why Thunder is currently (and has been for a long time already) considered the most powerful element on DMM right now. Thunder, while not the most versatile element in terms of kit, they still very high up in terms of versatility and most importantly, they have the 'right' versatility. Just look at their party wide assets: BG via Raiko's Zeal, Barrier + Pursuit from Marduk AW (who also deals extra dmg via Echo), THE most powerful healer in game aka DianCecht, refreshable 30% Dmg cut (+ 20% Water cut) via Raiko AW, Affliction Shield on top of a Guaranteed 30% debuff from Samael and most recently, Passive DATA up from Bride Arianrhod's unique gimmick. All of which, have excellent balance of offense and defense for longevity in raids while maintaining high and consistent dmg. The best part, most of these buffs do not require micro as much as Light units do. And if you want some spike dmg for Tower/Dummy scoring, just slap in NewYear Afro with her Party vigor, or Nuwa for her party Crit + dmg cap up (with party DATA for burst effect on top), or super attacker like Perkele (Instant Burst + 200 Burst Gauge + Self Super mode that gives her 200% dmg and other stuff.) These are combinations that Light team simply does not have or able to compete in. Speed is the only thing Light has over Thunder, and that balances out in a way that Light will always be able to hold their own ground as fights drag out by being consistent. But when another's Thunder team is also able to hold their own and charge headstrong through all the enemy mechanics, Light loses out in the long run.


Also, you mentioned holding your own ground against TCat as Light, but then will you be able to do more than just VMVP? At least back in my days before TCat got nerfed, other players Wind team aside, I found the hardest teams to race against to be not Light or Fire, but Thunder, with Wind being my 2nd strongest element after Light.

p.s. Before you attempt the 'Light can be played as single element' argument, I'll just inform you that... a couple Thunder baka that I know over here simply just brute force through Wind raids.... and still do enough dmg to MVP (50~70m dmg).
