Unlike all other classes, Arcanist can not use Subclassing or Weapon skills effectively without the Crux generation from Banner Bearer. If I want to subclass Grave Lord to use Flaming Skull or subclass Ardent Flame to use Lava Whip, I can't because 1/3 of my class passives simply won't work, and any crux consumption ability will be ineffective as Banner or Tome-Bearer's Inspiration will only generate a single crux and nothing more until after 30 seconds and it expires. Passives proccing a single time over 30 seconds means you have no passives.

yeah but that restricts me to only use those scribed abilities. The reason Banner Bearer worked was that it was passive Crux generation, meaning I was able to use any ability spammable I wanted, including Subclassing and Weapon skill lines.
Passive crux generation sucks, I agree,
so why not let any direct damage ability generate a crux, or let Tome-Bearer's Inspiration generate a crux anytime you use a damaging ability, or literally make any change to ease these restrictions?
Until you ease these restrictions on the Arcanist class, that no other class has to deal with, then PLEASE do not remove our only method of working around them (i.e. using the class mastery script with Banner Bearer).@ZOS_Amy @ZOS_Kevin
