They had problems balancing Scholar because any changes they did to the skills, the DoTs, Ruin and Ruin II primarily, affected both Scholar and Summoner. Making it so that your primary damage stat is a different stat than the norm (INT) is easy, because they can easily tie it to the job stone being equipped.
