Doubt about SCH attributes points.

Hello, as the tittle says, i have a doubt with that.
If a put all the points to MND, i'll have problems with MP in bosses fights ?
Also I don't understand why SCH is marked in party as PIE.
Any SCH doing high end content can give me a few tips for healing in high end bosses ?
Thank you so much!

All MND. SCHs should never have to worry about MP if you are using your fairy and Aetherflows and Energy Drains properly. I am sorry to say but you are going to probably get TONs of people telling you to l2p cause simply put SCH is the sustained no MP worries healer while WHM is the burst healer. I am not totally sure how to give you advice other than making sure you are not over curing. Don't spam Succor when healing from super low health (you may not be doing this but I am not sure as I made this mistake when I first started playn SCH). Make sure fairy is in a location that she can reach everyone (her range is stupid small).

SORRY!!!!! You are guessing you will have MP issues not saying that you do have MP issues. At ease properly played SCHs will very VERY rarely have MP issues ever.

Don't worry about English. I am not a native speaker either. ^^

This is a horrible idea. To never have dungeon on SCH and then immediately try and do AK is a bad idea. You are going to be a ball of stress and confusion. SCH is not as straight forward as WHM is. You are not doing yourself or your party any favors by leveling SCH up only doing FATEs and then trying to heal end-game. I would suggest running some of the lower level dungeons from 44+ first to get a feel for SCH before trying any end-game.

I used to have 15/15 in intel and mind because i'm dualing SMN and SCH at that time, but now it's all 30 in MND.
Yeah i suggest you run the lvl 40-ish dungeons first to get a 'feeling' on how healing mechanics with SCH works. Unless you're uber pro, then go ahead with the AK run :)

You shouldn't have any worries about MP. the only time I ever run out is when I need to rez someone.

I'd add couple points to VIT too but that's just my preferance (I like my healers alive :D)
And as others have said, SCH has very good ways to get MP back, I never run out of MP on SCH, not even on Titan when you really have to go all out on heals.

As a sch in coil id say the only real way to go is pure mind. Some people have talked about adding int for extra crit chance but the trade off is way too high. As for piety, piety is a strong attribute but no matter how much mana you have there will always come a point in coil where the bard needs to do his mana song for both the sch and whitemage. Thats why bards are so valuable in these groups.

I confess, I do this. I got both relix and have a 15/15 split cus... yeah. If I'm ever not tanking coils (that'll happen) I may re-trait for 30 mind, but 15/15 will get you through titan no problem.

In terms of how to play endgame content, I must shamelessly recomend you take a look at the Titan HM guide for scholar I posted on this section of the forums.

I wouldn't ever give up MND for vit on traiting. If nothing else, you are always giving yourself extra ehp with succor anyway, so more mind will have the same effect, only it'll apply to everyone in group not just yourself. Also, mind increases both fairy and scholar, so its very potent.

Contemplated respeccing a little into Vitality because of Twintania. But nah. Pure Mind is still the way to go. Else you'll gimp your shields.

Don't save Aetherflow unless you are at 100% mana. Even if you are only down 5%, use it the second it comes up. Do this and you'll never OOM, even when you go nuts on heals.

You can also burn charges on drain to top yourself off, spend about 600 mana and pop it.
