Elementalist Lux--Transformation Phase Change

Patch Notes

I noticed this in the game: when I was using Elementalist Lux, in the past, the element you picked the first time was "grayed out" when you picked the second element. However, one game, I noticed I could pick the same one twice. After I did, I couldn't transform again, so I was stuck with just one transformation that game. However, after having sent feedback about it, I noticed that it has gone back to being gray, and you can no longer pick the same element twice.

The fact that the first element turned gray makes it hard to believe it was a bug (Why design UI changes for a bug?), so I'm wondering why it was changed and then changed back, especially since it no longer matches the 7.13 patch notes. I'm wondering what the intention was behind this; do they want her to be able to pick the same one twice, or not, and why?

What do you think of the change? When I accidentally clicked the same element twice, I was disappointed I couldn't transform anymore

That bug cropped up because of some UI work that they were doing. The intent of Elementalist Lux is that you pick two different elements in order to get to the end form that you want. The UI bug allowing you to pick the same element twice gave you the next basic element on the dial (nothing for double water, as that's the last one in order), which makes no sense. Why would you go from Fire to Nature?
