So...about Arcanist

[Noira]

I've seen some horrifying tanks pre 30 and paring an int acn with in stats would be a recipie for disaster. On your line of thought any pre 30 class could just cross class cure/physik and que as heals or cross class flash and skull sunder and que as tank (God forbid).

Well technically, you forget that Arcanist has a pet which allows them to multitask without giving up too much dps. Other dps classes can't do this. You can tank heal and dps an entire dungeon as Arcanist.

That said Arcanist is merely a support dps class and should remain so.
