Don't get me wrong, it seems cool, but that's what was in their minds with arcanist being able to go multiple paths. It became a balancing nightmare as you couldn't touch, say, half of scholar's kit without also touching summoner. Let's say black mage and summoner are doing too well, because of fire I and ruin I. You can easily fix fire I, but if you weaken ruin 1, now scholar got hit, even if it wasn't doing well.
while this was true, they've gotten very far away from this.

SCH doesn't have Bio/Miasma/Ruin III, SMN doesn't have Broil or Quickened Aetherflow.
