That's more mechanical classes though. Paths aren't necessarily, or rather, purely based on mechanics (or methodology). See my previous post about Paths.
Granted, it's possible if the game mechanics had an Elation class, they might've sorted Aventurine there. However, despite his MO, his core self and core philosophy has always been the drive to protect - originally his family and clan, and later their legacy. Elation is chaos for the sake of chaos, all life being a story / stage play / etc. And that perspective on life was what Aventurine rejected.
That plus he's gotta have high defense to have survived all the BS he went through in Penacony, plus the way he let all the verbal insults against him slide right off his back, does make him a good fit for a Preservation character.
> Wait...not all DPS benefits from debuffs? Why? (I'm wondering if all AoE DPS can benefit from Jiaoqiu regardless but sounds like the answer is no?)
Eh, all characters benefit from debuffs as they affect the enemy, sure. Your healers and buffers get just as much out of it as the DPS. But only Acheron and Ratio have specific damage modifiers that scales their damage based on the number of debuffs on the enemy.
