Stats & Bonus Points

If i'm not mistaken they won't be using energy drain as much as some of their other abilities need to consume that buff to be used. (Lustrate and sacred soil both need it). Plus the amount of MP restored is based upon the damage you dealt, so INT would help that.

Yeah, I know about the others moves and INT is still a use for SCH, like you said. It'll most likely boil down to INT vs MND on SCH, so maybe 15/15 would be the optimal way to go but putting PIE isn't worth it. Plus Energy Drain has 150 potency which is a great.

Yeah i haven't spent any points on my arcanist till i see what the stats are like at 50 with the job stone equipped then balance myself around that possibly. And what if they adjust piety to grant bonuses to the summon's stats, think it might become useful even as extra "materia" stats on stat capped gear?

As for cleric's stance, jobs only have access to 5 cross class skills, so depending on party set up and such you may or may not have room for cleric's stance. For me i'll mostly be running with stoneskin, swift cast and surecast as a base line, leaving just 2 left open. 1 for protect when there's no other whm in the group (4 mans or 2x sch groups).

Can't say for sure until we get to test it our ourselves and I don't think they would put in a modifier for piety for Summoner but Square's is known for it's shenanigans in FFXI but I don't think that'll be a problem here. As for Summoner, it'll probably be INT from what I've seen. We'll find out tomorrow though

Yeah it was more a thinking of a way to make the stat more useful as not too many people will be bothering with it, it's just a tiny little extra bonus on gear, even then if people had the option to drop piety on gear and pick up INT/MND/VIT instead i'm sure they would.
