Arcanist/Adventurer Might Could Use A Boost...?

[Melchiah]

That 10% free Immolate gives Apprentice the solid edge. But the problem of play style pigeonholing arises. What could be done to bring the Arcanist and Adventurer sets into balance with Apprentice, to way each could compliment different play styles with equal efficacy?

I haven't had much time to experiment with BH sets (mainly due to my BH just being a secondary I play when I'm bored with Mage/farming, and poo drop rates), but they all seem more balanced for different play styles judging by their descriptions alone. Mage, on the other hand, seems to be limited to either Apprentice 6 or eternal skreb status.

A buff is already planned. 4/6 set will become 2/6. 4/6 will become 100% more damage to selected enemy. 6/6 will have some sort of attack similar to DFA where you lose control of your character, deal more damage and take 90% less damage.

2/6 sounds good. 4/6 sounds good for bossing, but iffy/pointless for mobbing if it won't translate to AoE spells as well. 6/6 sounds iffy overall, but I'm fine with Arc/Adv 4/2 with that new system. I just really like the LoH boost that the current Arc 4 gives you with AB (saves my butt all the time, especially with Sing 10 feeding LoH in addition).

Either way, good news. Thanks. ^_^
