I'd say that boosting Arco GA would be about *the* lowest thing on my priority list, which is not to say there is no need for tweakings, but simply because there are soooo many more global issues I would rather see addressed first (bugfixes, interface fixes, AI tweakage).

And although I am not a competetive player, I definately agree with the assessment that CMs are the best mages around, bar none -- especially if we are talking about S&A. BK I don't play, so I can't say, but even in default they rock; together with imperial archers etc., they make insane support mages as well, basically being able to cast anything you really ever want with the right random and even minimal gear and power of the spheres / summon phoenix power/etc.
