Welcome, today we can finally reveal more about the new Arcanist Class Skills in ESO (The Elder Scrolls Online). The Arcanist is a new class and will launch with the Necrom Chapter on June 05, 2023.
We will also start updating the ESO Arcanist Builds once we get our hands on the public test server. The test server is likely to launch next week when we can finally get our hands on the Arcanist and test the new class out for an extended period. We have all kinds of class builds for the Arcanist in the pipeline, a few examples are the Arcanist Tank, Arcanist Healer, Arcanist Magicka DPS, and Arcanist Stamina DPS.
The Arcanist was first revealed in February during the Necrom Chapter.
Note 1: The skills information is from an early access server from April 17, some of the skills may still get changed until the live release.
Note 2: Some of the skills are still very vague, we will update them once we have more information.
