Can we please make arcanist not so tanky

Overamera · July 15

They are just way too tanky in PvP.

Only compared to NB, but they have invisibility. I don’t think Arcanist is more tanky than DK or Warden, and Sorcs have Streak and Ward. All classes should have the capacity to build for tankiness through one means or another.

I don't think Arcanists in PVP are much of a threat to anyone. No burst damage, the beam is useless, the flail is mediocre, which leaves only heals and shields.

In other words, if you are dying to an Arcanist in PVP, its not the Arcanist.

Gotta use weapon skills and proc sets.

Exactly. There is nothing in the Arcanist toolkit that makes them OP damage dealers in PVP. They are in a similar position to wardens in that they gravitate more towards tankiness than damage. If you took that away, you'd basically be playing a necro.

Not that there aren't good Arc players, but Arcs are the least offensively threatening class. People build them tanky because there's not much you can do with them in PvP, and the PTS Flail nerf goes further in the wrong direction.
