Locking Fleshweaver to Ice doesn't make sense. Roirr ate Vaal's soul companion, who was attuned to Fire, and was able to use use the Evil element in combat. If anything should have been bound to a certain element it should have been SoulWeaver, since we are bonded with our icy soul ally. Fleshweaver has serious potential to become a major class, so locking it to one specific element would make it unpleasant to use. If it absolutely has to be locked to an element that can deal a fair amount of damage to all monster. Something like Void/???, which doesn't meet this standard, or maybe even a new element. I know there's the whole issue with having to implement it into the combat system, but this would be on of the only ways that locking FleshWeaver seems logical.
Again, if Tomix wants it locked to Ice for thematic reasons it will be locked to ice. If he wants it locked to Bacon it will be locked to Bacon. The problem here is you're seeing a snapshot of what Roirr is. You saw him use his abilities while he's still in the process of absorbing everything and fighting against Vaal for control. We haven't seen what his final form and abilities are, we haven't seen what he can do in his fully transformed form. Maybe he'll do fire damage and have a totally different set of skills after fully absorbing the spirit? The fact is you all don't know anything beyond what you saw with Riorr in one quest. That's not even close enough to a sample size of anything. Tomix could be doing something totally different for the next one. He may want Roirr to have the same skills right now for a reason so he doesn't spoil his plans for FW. He may just want to use what's there to make less work and get the content out faster.
Until you know for sure, 100%, what the plans are then you can't say conclusively that it will or will not be a certain way. If Roirr's skills change completely in the next quest your whole argument goes out the window. My advice is to not dig in to something when you have no clue which way things will go. That saves us the trouble of trying to fix mindsets later and opens up MUCH more to discussions. I'd rather have to poke you guys to reign back in a little because you do sometimes go over the edge than to have to force you all to accept something later down the road. There is a middle ground between the two polar opposites many people here post as. It's not always a "RUNAWAY TRAINWRECK OF IDEAS!" or "STONEWALL OF ONE IDEA AND ONE IDEA ONLY." There is a middle ground of fun ideas in a somewhat contained thought process.
