I actually wish weather effects in a battle were a thing. I think they should be able to pop up, but I also feel as if they shouldn't affect mechanics (mostly on the PVP end) since it gives the option to intentionally pick a weather that's advantageous to someone's specific build. On paper, you can use a specific item to negate the weather effects but it's still sacrificing a whole equipment slot.

I think weather animations should definitely be a thing in PVE and PVP battles, but I think it should just be mostly aesthetic/fluff. Having a final showdown in the rain or in the snow is totally in the bucket list...

I support the general idea of weather animations being in fights, though. I think the mechanics part of it could work better if that one was just PVE only at least!
