Maybe helix spells from FFXI (cryo-helix, ionohelix etc.) or even the elemental dots (rasp, shock, drown, etc) and then fester would be replaced by "tri disaster" (same effect as current fester.). I do want more pet commands like enkindle though. More of the damage should come from interaction with the pet. Maybe more off GCD abilities similar to enkindle.
Im so glad I'm not the only that thinks that way. I still dont see the connection with arcanists and illnesses.
