Number 1 mistake: trying to confer what works for other classes onto Arcanist.
You should be shielding heavily, and several abilities heal you (Flail, Runeward, Runeguard).
For every other class in PVP, I slot a HoT and a direct heal.
For Arcanist, I only slot Evolving Runemeld.

Yea so do i that's what I'm saying except I prefer audacious instead of evolving
So I have found a way to use this skill and for it to be more beneficial than vigor,, though I don't see why anyone would choose evolving for the tiny HoT when the other gives minor heroism..am I right or wrong.
* I use hist sapp on the back for a decent HoT as arcanist don't seem to have one

I'm using restoration staff back bar. I don't use Runeward, just Chakram of Destiny and Crux weaver Armour.
Runeward is a waste of Crux Imo.
To be fair, with rubemend and crux weave armour you eill almost always have at at least 2 crux for runeward. I also use rune mend before my runeward for this reason as runemend gives crux

Depends. Most of the time you will 1 Crux up.
In server lag, the Crux does not actually register for consumption until the animation lines up, which server lag can delay. Meaning you can cast a beam, or your shield after having used skills to generate Crux, but they will not be consumed, so you get weak damage and shields. That you will then have to recast to consume, while eating 2x the resources and GCDs.
It becomes a problem in content that lags frequently, such as pvp.
The class is always at a resource and time disadvantage relative to every other class.

In some instance yes especially now crux only stay for 30 seconds when out of combat, it should be changed so that some skills generate 2 crux or even the full 3 such as crux weave armour when hit, that would solve alot of issues..

Runeward and Crux Weaver Armor are the only things worth running from the class after the Crux change. Those are actual good skills.
The problem is the changed Crux, thus the core functionality of the class. Runeward does not work without 3 crux consumption, and its *** when you are put on the defense with 0 Crux up.
You will end up where everyone else that adopted and pvp;d from day 1 PC Necrom as an Arcanist. Its does not work in its current form, due to the Crux change and the abismal server performance.
You will eat 3 Crux on a beam that will not register a single tic of damage on a stun locked target standing at your feet, then they bash you and now you are defense with 0 Crux up for Runeward.
