Again, I could be wrong but hey I guess in the coming months with the media tour and the job actions trailer with dev explanations we will know more of how PIC will rank within the caster role.
The raiders opinions are premature. If Picto turns out better then expected they will backpedal. It all depends on Picto's full toolkit. Until the big keynote showcasing the every classes new actions it's too early to make a informed decision. Besides Arthars mains Ninja and Xenosys mains Tanks(mostly Warrior) so they aren't what I would consider the high authority on casters.

Same case with Viper really. Arthars mentions Viper and his praise for it amounts to if Viper sucks you at least have the same gear and can swap to Ninja. Which says more about Ninja then Viper.
