> 2. You have more control over elementals. Can there be different strategic types of fighting you can assign to your elemental? Maybe "focuse more on bashing to the detriment of hitting power and spec attacks (eg geyser, fireball).

Something similar was in the original plan for Elementals while Conjurers were in development, but the coder that was slated to do it (Cador) then up and disappeared. Essentially Elementals will eventually become a fair amount more interesting than they currently are (having more utility and fighting options available without making them overpowered in the process). It'll still happen, it's just not on the front burner at the moment.
