Elemental Weapons Bonuses Return

The burden of proof is on you because you are asserting that JMS intended elestaves only for A/M's.

No, the burden of proof is on you because all factual evidence indicates this as a basic fact and you are the one positing a theory that deviates from this fact with no substantiating claims. I already pointed out the years of separation and different development teams involved. For your theory to hold water you would have to prove that there was both a connection between the teams and a grand design they both shared years in advance.

Your claim regarding bishops is also ludicrous, they would've had to changed core functionality of how the entire equipment system works to make wands/staves that a specific subset of wand/stave wielders couldn't use, so they added penalties as well as bonuses to ensure that the right people used the right weapon. They could've completely left off the entire eleDefault concept if they wanted the weapons to be generally available to all wand/stave users and only augment specific people, but they wanted to restrict who would use and benefit from them without having to recode the entire equipment system so they added a penalty, since the penalty could easily reuse the same logic that the bonus itself used.

Also get your facts straight, you brought this subject up:

I'm pretty sure that elestaves being fast was not intended only for AM's since like you said, most of their skills are unaffected by the weapon speed. So why have a fast staff for classes that don't take advantage of it. If this was really intended only for AM's, Nexon would have created a restriction for BaM's from using it.

In reply to an assertion by Chilly, not me.
I only replied because your answer was drivel requiring exteme supposition of foreknowledge and/or prescience.
Your insistence that new classes were inevitable and therefore were already accounted for is also absurd given that many games have never expanded by adding new classes and at the time these were created there was no implication that Maple would be. Without having direct knowledge that new classes would exist and what form those would take there was no way four years ago that JMS could've prepared these weapons for every possible future scenario.

Your entire stance is coming down to stamping your feet screaming NO NO NO ME ME ME with no supporting evidence and no credible statements.
