Time to automate "Bonus" points onto Soul Stones

With the recent information about tanks being forced into going full VIT, the last piece of support for keeping Bonus points as player-selected has been nullified, since tanks will now be VIT only, Casters are INT, Healers MND etc. Noone ever has the need to use their "Bonus" points in anything other than their classes primary stat because it simply results in a dps/heal potency loss.

I beseech the dev team to finally remove the "Bonus" points system and simply add the 35 points onto the soulstone. No more will players who wish to use SCH and SMN be forced to either carry a stack of "The Keeper's Hymn", or sacrifice points for one class or the other! Why? Because SMN's soulstone would automatically give 35 INT and SCH 35 MND at 60, hence ending the age old conflict of splitting ACN "Bonus" stats between two entirely different Job roles.

This is something I know many have wanted for a long time and given the changes to VIT for tanks, it only makes sense. It also would remove an element from the character stat window, and since it would automatically give you the points it prevents those embarrassing moments where you level up a few levels and completely forget to spend those "Bonus" points

Since the classes are whats actually being leveled and where your stats are going, they would in turn need to change more than just what you ask. This hold especially true, since Smn/Sch share the same base class.

what exactly would the need to change about the classes themselves? Other than novelty runs, noone is seriously going to use a class over a job in PvE so saying it will affect the class is kind of a mute point.

Having 35MND on SMN is just as worthless as having an extra 35 INT on SCH. Unless ofc you are trying to argue that having the option to put in 35 mnd on a smn is worthwhile for casting physicks?

actually as a main whm i am switching from time to time from mind to piety if i need more mana or vitality for pvp or for surviving raidbusters. my heals are big enough anyway
