Why do sch and smn share point allocation

please make these separate pools, how hard can it be

Well you're only looking at the con, for a pro, you get 2 jobs unlocked for levelling one base class!

Point allocation is done through classes, not jobs, because you don't have a "job" before level 30.

you're assuming that it's a mistake for both to share the same point allocations. I assure you its by design that sch and smn share the same point allocations. I know there are also rumors that there will be more jobs that come from same class that will share point allocations. the game is all about choices. you have to choose one or the other. sometimes you just can't have it every way you would like it.

all about choices, to be gimp playing one job or not

dont really care if its intended its absolutely retarded that I have to spend company seals to play a job efficiency just because of point allocation

Go all INT. SCH isn't very "gimped" with full INT since all you're there for is to mitigate damage

Also be glad we have the option to change our stats to change to another "primary" job. With other MMOs, once you choose a class or job, you're locked into it. Permanently. You don't have to choose between SCH and SMN because you can freely switch between them.

If you really care about Minmaxing (like myself) make an entirely separate character. I main SMN on this char while my alt mains SCH

I do this but I also have 2 allagan books on my main I'd like to use without this artificial, pointless restriction

Its not a restriction in any way shape or form. the points are really there just to help you while you level. after hitting 50 most of you gear will determine how good you do. I can dps 99% as effectively with my summoner than i can 100% heal with my scholar.

15 points of MND/ INT is perfectly sufficient you can still be a very very good dps or a very very good healer. Minmaxing is nice but not that important. 30 STR WARs can clear all content up to EX primals and T5, that's an example of how the stat allocation isn't game breaking. Finally maximising your rotation or time of your heals is far far more important than your stat allocation.

Just curious, I read many ppl suggesting players focus on both jobs should go all MND, they said the benefit of all INT for SMN or all MND for SCH is not very significant, but go all MND for SCH will has more advantage when Cleric Stance.
