So my dm has given everyone the ability to do a large scale rework of our characters. So far my character has been a sorcerer blaster focusing on chain lightning spam. I would like to keep this play style but do it as an Arcanist. Yes I know blasting is inefficient. No I will not use dazing spell
Rework Rules
Can trade any levels for an equal number of levels in any class
Can swap 2 ability scores(int and cha)
Can take any feats that I meet the prerequisites for
Relevant Houserules and Homebrew
Arcane armor training uses no action
No more than 1 archetype per class
I have an item that gives adamixture school power

I suggest you read this, it will give you a lot of helpful foresight in specific relations to optimal blasting.
If you are going to be blasting, it seems like a huge missed opportunity not to go with the School Savant to pick up the Admixture school.
