I dont remember if they said they were releasing another class anytime soon.

But if they do release Arcanist to have some of the missing stuff I mentioned, I will be super happy again to not only get the skills back but to have a third mage.

Let us hope that is their plan, because I do not believe SE would remove so many skills without their being a plan, I just wish they would not leave us in the dark. Maybe they will answer it in a dev question or something.
