Falcon's Nest - Mysterious & Rare Disciple Icon (Request from Fernehalwes @ Fanfest)

ARR more or less re-purposed Arcanist, though. The original Arcanist weapon was much cooler looking - but we already have 2 mages with staves. The 1.0 Arcanist weapon looked a lot more similar to current Allagan staves/canes.

And also, if i remember well, the class was supposed to work setting traps and objects on the ground, creating AOEs that caused different effects to both enemies and allies. 3 years after, they reused that idea on the Geomancer in FFXI.

About the main topic, i also assumed that was the icon for the supposed Shepherd class (I remeber being very surprised about it when I discovered it in my first visit to Falcon's Nest, and then I remebered that class list that leaked in the the Alpha, and assumed it was Shepherd). I woul love if in the future they embrace again the concept, because i think it would be lovely to have a DOL class caring about the awesome fauna in Eorzea.
