What about elementalist getting four specializations instead of a new weapon and new elite spec?

What do you think, if instead of getting a new weapon and new elite spec, we will get an option to unlock a fourth Specialization (fourth trait line)? So, instead of having three specializations active, we would be the only profession that can use four specializations. That would make an ele's life much easier, don't you think?Imagine having Tempest, Water, Earth and Arcane, if you wanna play a support/healer role or Weaver, Air, Fire and Arcane for a dps role.

Off course dmg and heealing should be reduced by X amount to compensate with additional specialization. Lets say if you unlock four Specializations your dmg and healing gets reduced by 7% or something like that.

Piercing Shards and Flow like Water alone are a 21% damage boost. You'd have to either scale down damage and healing to the point that there's no benefit in taking a 4th trait line or nerf ele in general. The effect of this change would be that ele builds either don't use it because the damage penalty isn't worth it or all ele builds use it because there's a net gain. There's no in-between and this change wouldn't open up any new and interesting ways to play ele.

I'd rather take a new weapon and elite spec.
