Yes, this is a rant. I fully expect there to be trolls telling me how stupid I am and that I can't play my class or Elitists eager to tell me how awesome they are that they can do it with both hands broken.

The Aurum Vale is a horrible, horrible place for the Arcanist classes.
That place is a nightmare to try to heal through on a Scholar and if one of your DPS is a Summoner, forget about it.
The pets take that DoT damage in the first boss fight and you CAN NOT direct them to use the fruit. You have to waste your Swift Cast (if you have it) to recall them just so they can die again and you're so busy trying to keep everyone alive when all you have is Succor and Physick; no Medica 2, no Regen, no Cure 2 or 3, Sacred Soil does little-to-nothing to help and you run out of MP long before the fight is half way over, even if you're using Aetherflow properly and have time to do Energy Drain.

Something needs changed in this dungeon so the Arcanist classes can function there.
