As we see with SCH/SMN having a shared job branch is kinda a bad thing because in trying to tune one job the other job is negatively affected.

I am sure many SMN players wish that SE would just rework the class to not use Arcanist as a base anymore so that they can have more skills based off of summons (and maybe drop the constant pet system so that their mechanics can be built more around Demi-primal summons) and be able to be balanced separately more easily.
