I cant help but feel that since the Arcanist has been brought down a notch, the Exploiter should be too.
IMO the Exploiter is a conceptually highly dubious archetype to begin with but yet is completely untouched in the errata. It was designed so that the wizard didnt get too upset by the new kid on the block not through any design/RP need. A decrease in Arcanist power should be matched by the Exploiter.
While i think you are theoretically correct in your request, starting the vicious circle of "nerf that too" is not exactly helpfull both to the game and to the community.
Technically the hit to the Drain X exploits hurts wizards too... not to many wizards with good Cha after all...

I have no problem whatsoever with nerfing as long as it achieves its objective..... power creep must be watched at all times! I for one think casters got off lightly in the errata!
It was, though. Consume Magic Items is equally available to both the Arcanist and the Exploiter Wizard, and so both were equally nerfed.
