I know this is a late comment, but I'd concur with guardian; it's a staple arcane for almost all of my builds. It used to give an armor bonus that scaled off your warframe base armor, but now the flat 600 armor it gives is huge in terms of passive damage reduction. Energize is a godsend but impractical until you can farm it or have the plat to buy it outright. Grace is really good, but guardian is semi-necessary for making low armor frames survivable without internal DR (armor or a skill, adaptation doesn't work well without one of the other two). I personally prefer running guardian in my first slot and using magus repair on the spoiler mode to heal. That strat leaves the other spot open for a situational arcane (energize, avenger, strike, velocity, etc...)
