For them to be accompanied with pirates and men/women of the sea just doesnt seem to fit. But yes, not many classes delve from the Sea port city of Limsa Lominsa, even though all but one DoM/DoW doesnt reign from Limsa, many DoH do.
The arcanist guild is more like a customs office in Limsa

Mealvaan's Gate is attached to the Ferry Docks. It acts as the custom-house for inbound and cargo. Only those with a talent for the Arcane arts are allowed into their ranks. For this reason it is also known as the Arcanist's Guild. They boast a training hall for Arcanists on the lower level, and the bottom level contains all hazardous contraband.
