“Adepts of the art of arcanum derive their might from symbols of power born of geometric techniques hailing from across the southern seas. Held within occult grimoires, these symbols lend shape to the arcanist's aether, thereby allowing him to produce myriad powerful spells.
Using the selfsame symbols to unlock the latent power contained within gemstones, arcanists are also able to summon forth the familiar known as Carbuncle to carry out their bidding.”
—Game Description
Arcanist is a Disciple of Magic class capable of summoning carbuncle as his or her companion. The Arcanist's Guild is in the marine city of Limsa Lominsa. If you choose arcanist as your first class, you will start off in the city of Limsa Lominsa. At level 30, Arcanist can acquire the jobs Summoner and Scholar.
The Arcanist is a class with powerful damage-over-time (DOT) and debuffing abilities. The emerald carbuncle, called forth by Summon, is a spell casting, damage dealing pet, the topaz carbuncle, invoked by Summon II, is a mighty tanking pet. The most important stat for the arcanist is intelligence, which increases attack magic potency.
What’s the best Arcanist race?
This is a tough one to answer. If you’re going for scholar, Mi’Qote Keeper of the Moon. If you’re leaning on summoner, Elezen Duskwight. Lalafell Dunefolk work well for either.
What’s the best Arcanist god?
God choice is irrelevant for Arcanists right now.
What are the best crafting and gathering jobs for Arcanist?
Alchemist, Weaver, and Botanist.
What advanced jobs require Arcanist?
Summoner requires (ACN)30, Scholar requires (ACN)30.
What’s a good Arcanist stats build?
MND(Increases Healing for Scholars), INT (Increases Magic Damage for Summoners)
But what about Summoner?
How do I become a Summoner in ARR?
You need to be a Arcanist (30) and Thaumaturge (15) First! If you’ve met these requirements, you can return to the Arcanists Guild in Limsa Lominsa to get your quest to obtain the “Soul of the Summoner”. In FFXIV ARR, becoming a job is as simple as equipping the required Soul.
What’s the Summoner playstyle?
as a ranged magical DPS class, Summoners deal tons of Damage Over Time. Maximizing summoner DPS revolves around packing the biggest punch you can with Fester. Having all three of your DoT’s up (Bio, Bio II and Miasma) makes fester stronger. Being a summoner unlocks an offensive pet. While having 100% DoT uptime and having fester off-cooldown is a must for max DPS, don’t forget about managing your other sources of Damage. The combo of Rouse+Spur should be used as often as possible!
Summoners have some pretty awesome utility skills in the form of Tri-Distater (AoE CC), and Enkindle – which brings out your pets “ultimate”.
What are good Summoner stats?
Like Black Mages, Summoners benefit highly from INT. You will want as much of it as you can stack. Like any caster, PIE is okay, but less so in summoners case due to Aetherflow. VIT is always good for taking more hits.
As for Summoner secondary stats, Spell Speed seems useless (Alot of your damage is DoT’s), So you’re going to want either Critical Strike or Determination to increase your maximum damage output.
What are the Summoner Traits?
As of now, there are no advanced job specific traits. You inherit all Arcanist traits you’ve already learned.
What are the Summoner Skills?
Aside from the skills below, you may use any skill you’ve learned as an Arcanist.
How many cross-class skills can I use?
When choosing advanced job, the amount of cross-class skills you may equip decrease to a total of 5 (as compared to 10)
Do I have to level up Summoner separately?
No, your EXP in Summoner rises as you level up your Arcanist class.
Did you forget Scholar now?
How do I become a Scholar in ARR?
You need to be a Arcanist (30) and Conjurer (15) First! If you’ve met these requirements, you can return to the Arcanists Guild in Limsa Lominsa to get your quest to obtain the “Soul of the Scholar”. In FFXIV ARR, becoming a job is as simple as equipping the required Soul.
What’s the Scholar playstyle?
Similar to White Mages, Scholars play a AOE (Area of Effect) heavy support role. This means alot of group healing. White Mages are probably alot better at healing Tanks, while Scholars excel at group healing.
Succor and Succor II are your main heals that even give a shield effect. Leeches is better than the WHM Esuna, with a much shorter cast time. Sacred Soil is great for mitigating unavoidable damage in raids. Lustrate is a decent single target heal, but not always available.
What are good Scholar stats?
Very similar to White Mages, Scholars would gain the most value from MND. PIE is still okay even if Scholars have access to Aetherflow. VIT is always useful to take an extra hit or two.
In regards to secondary stats Scholars would benefit from Critical Chance, this does well with Scholars. Why? Succor and Succor II have extreme benefits from critical heals. The shield mechanic makes “overheals’ useful. In group healing situations, it is more likely that critical heals will not go to waste.
