    Er.. did they rework monster resistances? I know Gnats and Doblyn take a heavy penalty with respect to Thunder, and I'm fairly certain there are more. (Though it could just be a case of them taking extra damage from something else, I guess)

    Edit: Birds! Err.. vultures? I think aren't very Thunder friendly. Neither are Burbles.

Every dungeon boss is vulnerable, every primal.....doblyns? idk
    if we get titan that's about it for now but that's if they still want to add him before 2.0

    edit: to add onto Rocl's dodo's take more stone damage then thunder

    wouldn't ifrit also be weaker to stone then thunder?

    did they ever say why water was a no no? seems odd to remove that element

    Wolves outright resist thunder. Titan and Ramuh will be glaring examples of the issue. It's absolutely stupid to have BLM focused on one element that will make it completely useless in certain boss fights or events. It's not an issue in 1.0 but it will be in 2.0 and I surely hope they're planning to do something.
    An easy fix would be 3 stances (one per element) with each buffing one and nerfing the other two.

    It was well off of its original purpose by the end of the first page, so I don't think it matters at this point.

    Fire has no strength/weakness relationship with earth or thunder.

    They're in separate circles.

    You've been pretty snappy as of late, Cichy. Might I suggest a drink or something?
