Tank wanting to Level SCH

So I'm a Warrior and I just gotta say that I've got a lot of love for you WHMs and SCHs out there. I know you might think "I wish this was a PLD" but if you keep me alive I'll keep you alive!

Anyway I really want to level a healing classes more so to better understand it while I'm tanking. I want to avoid the "I hate when tanks..." So what better way than actually levelling a healer.

SCH looks really good but I was wondering if I pump all my points into MND and roll Cleric Stance with Arcanist is it viable pre 30?

I rolled a WHM in FFXI for a while but SCH seems a little different (hence why I went for WAR instead of PLD).

Any other tips would be greatly appreciated!

Even the Summoner at 50 is still a viable dps with 30pts in mind.
Just go ahead and put everything in mind.

Arcanist is very easy to level, don`t worry about it.

Yea, Arcanist is easy mode when soloing/leveling. Put everything into MND if you plan on playing SCH.

I goofed the first five points or so in mind while leveling, and i've not even noticed a problem, so i'm sure it'd be fine. Queues take forever, but that's really the only problem i've had.

A question I've meant to ask on this topic, is if Arcanist and Scholar share attributes, or if they each have their own set like classes do. I ask because I intend on having summoner and scholar (scholar first most likely) going, and I have yet to spend any attribute points because I'm confused on the best approach.

Yes stats are shared, but 30 points in mind or even int seems like a waste, i'm starting to find vit is more useful as all you need on extreme cases is to have that 1 extra hp just like Diablo2.

That is that still you can always reset your stats for 10k seals which you can farm in 2-3hrs at level 50
