Dang, I didn't know that Scholar and Summoner sharing Arcanist as a base class was considered a failure. I made this post considering that both of those jobs were deemed as a success and to share that type of success with other classes so that players may be more versatile with the roles they play rather than being stuck to a singular role unless they level up a completely new class or job from scratch.

I never played an Arcanist, Summoner, or Scholar but I was looking to pick it up to cover both DPS and Healer roles. Knowing that the jobs that follow it are flawed for being hybridized honestly feel like a bummer. Thank you guys for sharing your knowledge with me though.
