if anything its summoner that needs to be removed from arcanist, since everyone much prefers sch having dots and a pet...you know the very things smn are asking to be removed in favour of trances

also please stop with the "ast was a problem child" no it wasn't. The devs have never said they had balancing issues with the job and we've always known the reason whm got shafted was because of the devs reluctance to give it utility because they used it as a test bed for the problematic pure healer concept and in typical SE fashion, doubled down on it in shb

The problem children here are the developers gutting abilities and traits in pursuit of a playstyle that fundamentally doesnt work in this game
