As an aside, you're still listed as "Arcanist 80" on your forum character description here. Might want to change that. Took me a few years (around level 70) to discover I could change it from Archer to Bard.

As for "pressing 1-2 for 20 minutes straight", you must be doing something extremely wrong if you only have two skills at level 15-18 (the min-max for Sastasha). Even my Summoner [Arcanist] level 18 skills have 5 buttons to press (not counting my pet). OK, Ninja might only have 2 buttons, but I can still put out a lot of damage with that 1-2 combo

The reason? We're there for the new folks with a leaf by their name, and we get XP/whatever as a reward for doing so. In exchange, we agree we can't use any skills the other Arcanist in the group doesn't have yet, kinda keeping us both on an even footing. Sure we do a bit more damage, but we also get to relive the wonder days of our misspent youth ... ah, what a lovely six years it's been.

As for that unbalanced feeling -- welcome to getting older and wiser.
