Its not dumb it makes sense, you just can't see it.

Well I like both smn and sch and it's been really hard traiting for both but I'm making it work.
Ok so I'm asking this to the people who crunch the numbers and do all that extra math stuff to help us others out. Seeing as how the arcanist gets a lot of int from passive traits while leveling up, if you put all your points in int and then used cleric stance would the int --> mind outweigh the negative healing aspect that cleric stance generates? Because if it does then that's what I'm gonna go with.
20% decrease in heals might be less significant than the gain in all that int you spent ur points on going to mind in cleric stance. Please help me with the math!
I flip back and forth between Summoner and Scholar all the time. I put my points into intellect for summoner, but when I switch over to scholar, the gear I have for it makes the Mind attribute surpass my intellect attribute. I have no problems with healing during dungeons with doing it this way. As far as cleric stance goes, I would not use it because I noticed that when using it that my heals were maybe 20 to 50 points less than when I had it off. This may not be for everyone, but it works for me.
I agree with the OP. The comment about the "Free 50" is woefully misplaced since they've already stated each class will eventually have multiple jobs. Most people are apathetic *now* because it doesn't affect them.
I'm just upset that my passives are INT-based when my job is MND-based. If anything they should buff Maim and Mend and replace the stat traits.
I also feel that Cleric Stance should be viable for Summoners. I stacked all my points in mind so far so I can heal to my fullest. However, if I so decide to play around with Summoner, dropping gil seems like a waste. If they added Cleric Stance for Summoners my MIND would be able to be used as INT. Which would be ideal.
Those who say you're not supposed to be able to switch to any job you want are wrong. That is the big selling point of this game, that you dont have to make more than 1 character to lvl all the classes. This is the reason I wished they would only have 1 class for 1 job.
They need to make all your points reset one time when you change to a new job.
I am actually using this. I have all my points on int and I am using Cleric Stance.
If you look closely your healing magic potency and attack magic potency matches your mind and intelligence. I think the 20% healing reduction and 10% attack increase just don't work with scholar.
On or off cleric stance does not affect the magic potency it seems but when cleric stance is on, my healing is much better. Can anyone clarify this?
