Thanks to everyone for pointing out my mistake -- I've only played this class, so I didn't understand the others are different.

Huh. I would love to do that but I would be scared of getting yelled at in the Duty Finder. I'm never planning to run in very hardcore company -- but even in casual contexts you tend to run into folks who get mad that you're undergeared or whatever. You don't encounter that yourself?

If I thought I could just switch freely between SUM and SCH at will, Arcanist really would be the perfect class for me.
