ARC stat allocation for SCH and SMN

[T0rin]

30 int. DPS always needs more DPS, but SCH/WHM don't always need more healing. You can work around 30 less MND by healing more often, you can't work around having 30 less int, you simply can't make up for the lost potential. Either that, or find a different DPS class to play.

That's my rationale as well. Healing is limited by the amount of damage being taken, and there are ways of mitigating/healing damage that aren't tied to your primary stat. DPS is just that, damage per second.

There are many, myself included, that have tested it and the increase in healing with 30MND is much more notable than any DPS increase with 30INT. 30 less MND or 30 less INT will not break either job or make you gimp in anyway, it will just make you not maximizing. However, I just put everything in VIT for the HP boost so I don't have to use melded Accessories for the HP I need in higher level content.
