SMN - Why it is not a very interesting job and not a good upgrade from ACN

That's irrelevant because they are Black Mage skills. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

They are Arcane skills from Final Fantasy XII

This is further proof that you don't know the lore. Arcanists are tacticians who manipulate the field to support their allies, summoned or not. This means that DoTs and abilities that hinder their enemies are thematically appropriate.

Arcanist lore from http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/game/#!/magic/content
Arcanist Adepts of the art of arcanum derive their might from symbols of power born of geometric techniques hailing from across the southern seas. Held within occult grimoires, these symbols lend shape to the arcanist's aether, thereby allowing him to produce myriad powerful spells.
Using the selfsame symbols to unlock the latent power contained within gemstones, arcanists are also able to summon forth the familiar known as Carbuncle to carry out their bidding.
How does Bio, Miasma and Poison spells fit with occult power and Arcane Magic.

Arcane - understood by few; mysterious or secret.
Occult - supernatural, mystical, or magical beliefs, practices, or phenomena.

You just referenced a game that has no bearing on this...why?

[Wolf_Shay]

And you even tried using that argument as to why an arcanist can't be a tactician, when the class content includes dialogue and info about using your debuffs and DoTs to disable an enemy. The lore you quoted doesn't even support your argument...

yes it does how does Bio, Poison and Miasma fit with Arcane and Occult Magic.

Because neither are relevant. You have categories; Black, White, Summon. Sort your spells and go to town that way.

It started out okay, then Akiza took the reins and we're off on a journey to a far off land. Enjoy the ride or barrel roll out of it.
