Minako's Guide to Scholar Healing

[Nazareth2000sg]

INT is the primary stat for arcanist. But scholars need MND for healing. You put all your stats into INT as an arcanist. You will need to use cleric stance to swap your stats for healing.

[Caesitas]

Swapping you stats using Cleric stance is a horrible idea, it reduces healing potency by 20% which is a much bigger loss then any gain you'd ever manage to get, if any considering SCH's gear is all MND focused

[Naria]

Just to point out Cure has the exact same stats as Physick, both are on the global cooldown timer and sch can not crossclass Cure II, so there is no reason to set it on sch or arn. I can see using cleric's stance when doting and then toggling it off for healing, but as it reduces healing magic its not a solution for people who want to be both perfect summoners and perfect scholars, even before accounting for gear.

[Chavo]

So, if i well understod, is nos posible to be a perfect scholar and summoner whit the actual tools in game.

If you wanna be good scholar after job qest, you have to respect arcanist points to MND.

If you wanna be a perfect summoner, you have to spend all points into INT.

Any solution to this? You have to choice one? My plan was be summoner and acholar, both.

Cleric Stance is actually a very nice skill for both CNJ/WHM/SCH.
The only way it is viable though is if you use MND as your primary stat. Switch MND into INT stat and you can dps with a 10% increase in damage. Yes, you do 20% less healing but Cleric Stance is used to put a Healer class into a dps mode. Cleric stance also doesn't follow the GCD and to remove it has no animation so you can easily switch back into healing mode in an instance. In CBT I played CNJ a lot and I was very pleased with how they could change to damage or healer so quickly.

Cleric stance for SCH would be amazing but only as long as they make MND their primary stat. I view scholar as a DPS that CAN heal. They still get all of ARC dps skills - just more heals added on. Cleric Stance would be great for them.

Also, fun fact, the game considers Piety to be main stat of Scholar. When a SCH joins a party, the PIE highlights in the party limit break menu. I found it interesting.

What he said.
Soloing as a Scholar is really slow for me (and boring... you take forever to kill or to die), compared to the other classes, and this really helped me to get it going just a little bit faster

Square Enix: The design of Selene fairy is totally useless. A fairy that increases your attack / spell speed 0,1 seg (wow....). If you didnt want to modify our GCD why just dont give us another useful buffs? You should know that Selene fairy is totally crap.

I hope you modify something about Selene soon (at least give us a real 20% at. speed if you dont wanna give us a REAL 30% as it puts in the description)

I think it's 30% increase to your skill/spell speed stat. It'll be good at level50 in 50 gear.

Great. Can't wait for my 0.15 seconds off every spell.

work up some the keepers hymn... only way to do it or go 15/15 int/mind

[Valiant]

well as a sch i have 288 mind 211 int. when i heal its like 500ish but when i do cleric stance i heal for 300ish so its quite a bit

thats cause CS drops healing by 20% if it didnt your heals would not be as bad... thats why going all int with talent points is a bad idea... if its anything like 1.0 than the amount of potency from mind is 1/3 of total mind... 252 mind 84 to magic potency... and you wont get another point til 255 then 258 and so on. NO HEALER should heal with CS active. You will use twince the amount of mana for the same amount of health.
