Just throwing this out here:

I’ve been trying to build an interesting Arcanist character for ages, but always find that the Arcanist mastery somehow gobbles up too much skillpoints. Arcanist based characters seem hard to balance. This is just another wild idea.
Damage output should be a bit on the lower side compared to pure Aether focussed builds, but I wonder how it’d fare survivability wise.
