I haven't even made a necromancer yet so it will probably be a few years before I make an arcanist.

Devs now needs to release a class respect token for 5,000 crowns. I would easily drop that on my main to play the arcanist class.

no point if no class change tokens

Looking forward to it as I like at least running through new things for a bit. Just leveled a new Sorc up during new life and will likely wait for a double XP event to really get this class up fully as well but will mess around a little when it is released either way. Personally I wouldn't be opposed to a class change token (doubt it will ever come) so if after I played and leveled the class and if I were to fall in love with it swap my main.

Zos giving us a free slot makes this much easier as now I don't even have to buy a slot or decide to delete one of my overlapping writ farmers I use for the anniversary event. I had saved two unpurchased slots just in case they ever dropped a new class.

For those who don't like questing, outside of my main character I don't really quest on any of the others (16 to date). Dolmen grind and crating skills to get to level 10, then a daily dungeon (levels undaunted) and daily battleground with bonus xp and for gaining some extra skill points. Outside of that I normally to public dungeons and delves which give fighters guild rep, access to lore books(mages guild) and sky shards and then the extra skill point for each group boss in the public dungeon. This time around I did the ones I had mythic leads to farm, same for world bosses.

The only real grind needed outside of those activities is horse training(gahhhhh) and then psijic order if you want to use any skills from the line and excavation if you want the antiquities passive for finding treasure chests easier. (I use my main to scry to save skill points)

For those mentioning character slots - you get one free with the chapter, and another available to buy in the store, to make possible total of 20.

It depends. I currently have 18 characters. If they offer new character slots to go with the new class, then I will likely take a close look at the Anarchist. If they don't offer new character slots, then I will need to look at all my characters and see if any of them are too similar to other characters and decide if I'm willing to redo one.

If this is true, then I will give it a try.

Yes, because it's a new class. I'll have a Stam and Mag version

Love everything I saw about the new class & can't wait to play it!

It sounds like a cross between an Archer and someone who cans things like food or garbage perhaps. Will prob be fun in PvP.

My biggest worry with the new class is that the portal ability will be abused in pvp and then nerfed for pve.

I'll create at least one, but I'm really hoping there's a new weapon skill line that goes along with it, to be honest - one open to all classes, obviously. I want my MagSorc to be able to break out a big ol' crackling lightning tome instead of the same ol' staff or daggers.

I'll probably try it out, but the grind makes me not want to, much like how SSG keeps slapping on more and more levels to Lotro.

I’d honestly love to but I don’t have the time, it would take me way too long. I got my main, I even got an alt that I focus on the most when I don’t play my main. That’s it for me for now.

They really should consider removing the cooldown on mount training as a QoL enhancement this year as it's one of the most glaringly obnoxious systems that has not aged well. I would gladly pay up as much gold as I could in one sitting if it weren't for that damned cooldown. With how many classes there are now, the paid mount upgrades just make the game look embarrassingly over-monetized, and I imagine a lot of new players get turned off by it.
