Scholars party bonus switch to MIND (Live letter feedback)

[Garotte14]

The way I look at is, its another utility. Its something that both AST and SCH bring to the party that helps BLM do more dmg. I view it just like Disembowel helping MCH and BRD. Of course I'd be a little salty if they just removed it completely. I love the idea of having both. My static normally runs AST and SCH, so it'd be nice to have that MIND bonus, but I wouldn't want to have to lose PIE bonus completely.

Now if they did fold the 3% back into base race stats, then fine. But the PIE Bonus is pretty essential for BLM to do a proper opener which has a huge effect on our overall damage.

I want my MND bonus on AST and SCH.

But i also think if the piety bonus is removed or changed, they need to do something about base piety for races. I think i am right in saying that as it stands, piety is the only racial stat that can have a difference on a rotation for a job. This being the case, it does put certain races at a disadvantage when it comes to BLM. I would advocate MND party bonus on SCH and AST whilst tweeking racial stats so no race has an advantage over the others when it comes to the BLM rotation.
