Arcanist - Runeblades issue.

MindOfTheSwarm

I love the Arcanist as a class but there is one issue regarding Runeblades in particular.
That is the sound effect, it sounds like a rusty gate being opened and closed over and over again. At first it was slightly annoying but after a while it just gets infuriating. I’m actually seriously considering converting my mag build into a Stam build and ditching Runeblades altogether.
Would it be possible to adjust or change the sound effect so that it doesn’t run right through me? It akin to nails on a chalk board.

I love the sound.

I don't really notice in-game sounds, I either have youtube or sirius xm running on the other monitor drowning out most of it. I don't remember the last time I heard in-game music.

I don't mind the sound of Runeblades myself, but then again, I tend to use Ceph's Flail over Runeblades anyway. Not sure why anyone would go with a mag build anyway when, IMO, Arcanist players much better and has better resource sustain going hybrid. Ceph's Flail offers so much more than Runeblades and is only 7m in distance than Runeblades, and yet it heals, it stuns, is AOE, and it generates crux on the very first hit.

So with my High Elf Arcanist, I invest all in Stamina, run 4xLight and 3xMedium, sometimes with staff sometimes DW daggers and with Sugar Skull food. Thus my main spammables- Flail and Fatecarver are stamina while Fulminating Rune, and other skills are magicka. I never have a problem with sustain.

I know on PTS many people had sustain problems with magicka-based builds, whereas stamina never seemed to have a sustain problem. Going hybrid, like the class was designed to do, I'm not having sustain issues at all.

The sound don't bother me much. Though in my opinion it should be a 28m skill instead of 22m ,like force pulse and so on. Even nightblade's ranged dps skills like impale have a 28m range. At times you have to get a little to close to targets for it being a ranged skill.

Every skill seems like there is a muted cast time delay. It’s not fluid, now I understand it could be a latency issue on my end, but skills seem clunky.
