Argument about Elemental Resist Skill.

If any mage plans on getting to the 4th job and using Mana Reflection, then wouldn't maxing Ele. Resist be bad?

This is the way I see it. Mana Reflect, sends back MAGIC damage applyed too you at a given % increase. Just like PG.
But if you max Ele. Resist, you are lowering potential damage that you can reflect back at the monster/boss that attacked you.

I noticed this fighting Pap. When I would get hit with a lightnning/ice/neutral magic attack I would take about 1k damage and send back 10k with reflect.
Though, when I was hit with a fire skill, I took less damage and sent back less.

See what I am saying?

I think the more major bosses that you would actually reflect a high amount of damage to use neutral elemental attacks. Not 100% sure about this though.

I don't care about it myself since I'm in the same boat as @Chrozome and @Etrieys and will not max Mana Reflection.
