If you plan to use both Jobs, then INT, otherwise MND if you're only going to use SCH. Losing 35 MND on SCH will not make or break the Job in terms of healing output. It's roughly a difference of ~200HP from Physick casts.

I'm a sch in training. I know 200 HP is different at my level so I'm wondering what the loss in 35 MND equates to in percentage at your level. If your physick hits for 1000 HP then that 200 you mentioned is a consistent 20% reduction in your curative ability. Sounds really significant to me since HoT is pretty important for a healer, especially in drawn out battles.

At i216 my physik heals for 3,5-3,6k, so losing 200HP is not that much. We get about 1100-1200 MND from gears at the moment, so 35MND is like about 3%. Just think of it as you are not over geared while healing. Or do you say you can't heal a dungeon if you are not over geared for it??? People are so worked up for 35 MND, i guess it's hard for them for keep their spot on the overhealing chart.

Also you have to keep in mind this only apply when you want to play both SMN/SCH and switch quite frequently. For SCH you normally take the "off-heal" role so it is better to put your points to SMN. WHM and AST you go full MND and shouldn't have any worry. IMO healing in ffxiv is more about knowing when to/not to heal than constantly spamming medica II and worry about missing some HPS!
