I totally agree.  My group has had 2 non-arcane, the "aging gunfighter" 
switched to a hexslinger as soon as lawdogs came out, and the gambler 
changed to a shamen, more becuase the gambler didn't really fit.  The only 
other non-arcane in 2 campaigns was indian brave, who still had a pile of 
the favors he could use.
