@Maki: -I know Fire and Lightning can be used for defense, Ice is just more direct. Wind could easily be used to, you know, deflect bullets like a bows.

-I call BS on Semblance dictating your specialization. Semblance is an unique ability one has. While it may have an influence on what they specialize in, that is still up to the user entirely. Weiss's glyphs push things in a specific direction if not Dusted. She could easily have chosen high-speed Dust Fencing over Dust Mage-with-a-more-effective-CRC weapon.

Ruby could have chosen to forget Close-Range Combat altogether, using her Semblance to get away from enemies. See my point?
