I remember reading somewhere that Arcanist will be available as a class in the upcoming final phase. Has this been confirmed by SE? Thanks.

Awesome, I could use a break from my usual melee style fighting and have been anxious to learn more about the Arcanist and having Carbuncle once again. Even nicer is it gives me somethign I can pick to start in my favorite Citystate from the get go. Never was much for axes

You're correct; there's only 8 martial classes and 3 cities, so someone was going to get the shaft. (Hopefully they'll bring a Thief class in soon that can start in Limsa Lominsa.) The starting cities for the martial classes are:
Limsa Lominsa: Arcanist, Marauder Ul'dah: Gladiator, Pugilist, Thaumaturge Gridania: Archer, Lancer, Conjurer The Freelance Wizard

From what I have gathered of Arcanist, it seems to be some sort of support healer? Does anyone know if it will be a viable option for a healing class, or is White Mage the end all be all as far as healing goes?

I plan on making a Scholar eventually. A good FFXIV lore site: http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Eorzea

While you really can't trust data mining in MMOs (devs will often put in placeholder data or, in the case of EQ2, outright lies), the last datamining that was done on the game indicated ACN was a DD class. I certainly hope this isn't ultimately the case, as the game desperately needs another healer, and a class that goes from full DD to HoT healer at 30 (via SCH) will... tend to be played poorly at that point, I think.
So, I guess my point is that we really don't actually know what ACN will be. We know SMN is a pet DD class and SCH is a pet heal class, but the devs haven't said anything about ACN at this point other than it'll have a (very cute) pet. The Freelance Wizard

I've heard that Arcanist itself will only be able to heal Carbuncle, and when you shift to Scholar, it somehow changes your DoTs to HoTs. It honestly makes the best sense, that way summoner still has DoTs from Arcanist, but the only thing that changes will be the Carbuncle summons turning into the mini Primal summons. So if that's true, in the duty finder Arcanist will be DPS, but Scholar will be Heals.
Basically what FreelanceWizard said above me. |

What about the class that uses guns? I see the symbols in the same guild as the marauder.
