I'm sorry to say this, but if ZOS follows the precedent with Wardens and Necromancers, the other classes are about to be strategically nerfed to make a niche for Arcanists.

Arcanist will have the same peculiarity as the Necromancer: no class buff.

It would make sense for Arcanist to have Minor Sorcery, but they already pawned that off to Templars as a class buff.

If they want to continue on this path of each class providing a unique buff, they should consider adding a new buff for Magicka and Stamina pools, kinda like Minor Toughness, or add a buff for stam/mag regeneration for necro/arcanist (which would be more useful)

My guess is they are reworking the whole system. People have been telling them to "finish hybridization", even though I would prefer if hybridization was scrapped, and that includes these class passives. So my guess is, nerfs across the board and then 7 new passives that have a total sum of power similar to what we currently have.
