I think that you could make a sound argument, in this case, that just because you don't have access to actual spells in-game does not mean that you can't interact with those elementals in-character.
I remember being told that Conjurers had access to Fire, Lightning, and Ice spells in 1.0, but I was not aware that they retconned a bunch of stuff about Thaumaturges In fact, I had no idea how involved Thaumaturges were in Ul'dahn society, or that they originally had no real interaction with the elements at all. Â My main is a Conjurer, and I don't really like DPS, so I only ran so far through the Thaumaturge questline to get my needed cross-classes. Â I figured it was close enough to 1.0, and since pretty much every game I've played so far has had Mages with ice and fire and such, I just figured it was par for the course. Â Oops!
And while I watched the questlines for White Mage from 1.0, I never found anything about Conjurer from 1.0. Â So thank you, Sounsyy, for enlightening me. Â ^_^ Â I appreciate it.
But it kind of goes back to how they've been divorcing, more or less, the Conjurers and White Mages from the Elementals this time around, which makes me quite sad.
