WHM Stats, points and gear for post game

[Alkimi]

Just because I had seals to burn, I did some testing last week. I went from all my points into MND to all my points into VIT. My Cure went from doing an average of 1100 with full MND, to 1050 with full VIT. And my hp went from 4132, to 4598. I switched back immediately, because I don't need that much hp, but it seems to me the effect of putting all points into mind is grossly overstated. As I pick up more Daystar gear, I'm seriously considering putting all 30 points into PIE to make up for the lack of it on Daystar gear.

Piety doesn't scale the same as VIT does though. Putting all 30 points in Piety would give you about 225 more max MP, and an about 40 MP more per minute. Even over the course of a 10 minute fight that's still only 3 Cure I spells, not really worth reducing the potency of all your heals by 4-5% over.

225 MP is 4.5 MP per tick, or 90 per minute, or 900 MP over a 10 minute fight. Combined with the extra 225 at the start of the fight, and that's 1125 MP, more than a Shroud. It's not a bad return; that said, I'd still agree that the mind is the better choice.
