Question about stat points

So for a wannabe Scholar do you need to gimp your Arcanist with Mind attributes up to 30 to be an effective Scholar-healer? Seems backwards as INT is the default choice for ACN (unless I'm missing something!!).

Yep, unless you want to cough up the 10k seals to change it after you get your job. It sucks. But on the plus side, you get absolutely no healing experience until level 30, which is right about the point where the dungeons go "Okay, you've had 15 levels of playtime experience, now it's time to get serious and ramp up the difficulty!"

... wait that's not a plus side. Truly, Scholars are for the patient, heh. I would suggest questing with a friend; I would have been tearing my hair out those first 30 levels if I hadn't had a Maurader to do most of the killing and just DoT things and occasionally heal him.
