Starting the game as Arcanist is largely unplayable now

[Tex_Mex]

I had arcanist as my starter class when I began and will admit I found it pretty dull. For me, the issue was that the other classes decimated mobs at low levels before I’d barely finished applying my DOTs, or even cast ruin, so it felt like I had very little impact in dungeons.

Low level balance in this game is definitely a joke. But fortunately, it is not very important at all. Low level content is so easy that this is a minor inconvenience at most.
