Due to the nature of hybrid circles, a spell rank configuration that includes 75+ ranks of Minor Elemental will result in +0.5 CS over a configuration without. In practice, this will result in +1 CS in any situation where a sorcerer would receive an additional fractional CS gain from a spell effect.
So you can call it what you want. They all have different reasons for doing the build they do. However, this isn't a thread to assess my build. I am quite comfortable with my build. My purpose was to sell a service. Not trying to be a jerk, just saying that is what it was created for. If you want to talk about builds, then feel free to PM and I would love to go over anything you'd like.
