[DEV Question] Can we split it?

[JunseiKei]

Will there ever be a split of scholar from arcanist?

With 4.0, role skills will be introduced. While I don't see 4.0 showing a true split of scholar from arcanist, I do wonder if it would be a possible precursor to seeing the job completely separated from the base class.

I have a few ideas to how it could be done, especially if certain skills were removed completely from one (like physic on summoner/arcanist) because of a role skill (like a basic cure/benefic/physic on healer role). I can also think of a couple of reasons of why there would still be issues (arcanist, summoner and scholar using the 3 main DoTs across all, as such an example).

Or is it simply a case of no real intention of putting the resources in to 'fix' what isn't broken, just inconvenient? So please, stop asking~ ♥

I know this topic has been something going on for a while, almost as long as egi-glamours/ more egis, but I'm still curious as to the general consensus is of the players as well as the SE team. Before the answer was whatever changes are made to one, it affects the other two. Will this be the same stance after role skills?
