Lets take a look at Conjurer.

Before level 30 they get Cure, Medica and Raise.

Given that a role shift of Arcanist would probably put a heal on the carbuncles, I don't think Arcanist is ill equipped to heal those demanding low level dungeons.

Alright, let's compare the two.

Before 30, CNJ's only attacks are Stone and Aero. EVERYTHING else in their kit is devoted to healing, crowd control and support.

ACN meanwhile gets a filler, two DoTs and a spreader, an oGCD attack and a pet.

So, you're saying that one heal and an "oops" button is all it takes to qualify as a healer for 30 levels? Bearing in mind that is all RDM has at 70, by that logic, CNJ could be a DPS since it has the barest bones of a damage rotation.

Uh, yeah? Have you ever healed the early levels? An arcanist right now could do it, let alone one with a pet heal were it a Healer role instead.

That I have, and while I admit that the Fairy itself has proven more than sufficient for content up to 25, it's worth pointing out that much as the current Carbuncles are downgrades to the SMN Egis, post-healer ACN pets would probably end up as nerfed Fairies, and with the separation there would be no need to maintain their potency while downsynched -- it'd be little different in effect from getting a potency trait at 30, which sounds exactly like what they would do.

Admittedly we have no idea how a separation of the two jobs would be handled, but since they share so many abilities and ACN is presently DPS-oriented, we can practically guarantee that'll end up with more being taken out of SCH's side than SMN's, and I should expect we may even see the job reworked from the ground up.
