also please stop with the "ast was a problem child" no it wasn't. The devs have never said they had balancing issues with the job and we've always known the reason whm got shafted was because of the devs reluctance to give it utility because they used it as a test bed for the problematic pure healer concept and in typical SE fashion, doubled down on it in shb

The problem children here are the developers gutting abilities and traits in pursuit of a playstyle that fundamentally doesnt work in this game
Summoner’s far more likely to stick with Arcanist than Scholar is just cause of the relative developer work involved (Arcanist is a DPS class, in-lore there’s more Summoner-Arcanist links and references than Scholar-Arcanist, Alphinaud uses abilities from both). There’s also little reason to split them beyond the shared exp, so most likely Scholar would remain an Arcanist 30 unlock but otherwise be split off from Summoner entirely.
