@ Cbachura Wind can also become cyclones etc, so there's no lack of destructive potential, and the 4 original elements are earth, air, fire & water, 2 of which we have in the game already, and mud could easily become earth. That's what got me thinking about wind element.

@ ToonStarFreak @ Nin10DillN64 That is pretty much how I saw wind blight working too. I thought it could lower the stagger limit, so either hunter or monster would trip more often.
