I don't know how effective Arcanists/Whitemages are in fates but as long as you join a good party it shouldn't be too much of an issue.
See i solo fates until 40-42ish, when im at the processing plant is when I get in parties or start parties. I am usually playing at off peak time hours so there's only a handful of players on in the area at the time. I can gold the fates no problem solo that's not the issue. I'm just saying it FEELS like it takes longer leveling casting classes. Also, this thread isn't about complaining about the game or how slow it is or improvements or anything like that. Simply and observation thread of what you feel like you notice and see if other people agree with you.
