You need a justifiable excuse for not starting Summoner and Scholar at level 1 as separate class/jobs? How about "additional expense for little return"?

Sure, it might be satisfying to dump Physick from the Arcanist hot bar, but is that really necessary from an economic viewpoint? Go ahead, justify the additional expense to a stockholder in the company. Change their mind.

Hand waving can be fun, but it is non-productive. In your opinion "fully breaking Scholar apart from Arcanist" might make sense. It doesn't make sense to me. I'd rather focus on the 60 levels after you can become a Scholar, since that makes much more sense.

All of this simply so you don't have to look at Physick on the Summoner hot bar? Hint: you can remove icons from your hot bar with extremely little effort.
