Archanist Question(s)

[Orophin]

Just wanted to pop in and answer the question about "unlocking" arcanist -- You won't need to fulfill any requirements in order to be able to play as an arcanist.

Sweet, good to know that it will be available from the start. Now I just wonder whether we'll be able to try them out at some point in beta.

They won't be able to tell us that so soon. And by the looks of it, we probably won't get summoner at release. They have mentioned nothing about arcanist and today rukkrii only spoke about it...

I think it was already confirmed in some interview or another that Summoner won't be ready until the first major patch after release.

it's from japanese Gamer magazine, even on the arcanist battle team has lots pressure: original user translation thread

巴術士は複数タイプのカーバンクルを使い分けるといった新クラスの情報もありましたが、巴術士と召喚士、改めて実装時期はいつ頃になりそうでしょうか？

吉田氏：巴術士はサービスイン（正式サービス）時からで、今の雰囲気を見ていると召喚士も間に合いそうかな、と。ただ、確定と言ってしまうとバトルチームから非常に怒られてしまうので、頑張ります、ということにさせてください（笑）。
Arcanist will be available at release, Summoner could make it too, but there seem to be delays on the battle side of things, so it might not make it.
