    Aerthalas: Concerning attribute points, it was already brought up that for the time being they are permanent, but next patch we should be able to redistribute. In either case, if you don't know what the stats do, here is some information (note that this only pertains to how that stat helps out Conjurer):

    STR: Physical attack power. EXTREMELY not worth it for Conjurer.
    DEX: Accuracy, Shield block or Parry rate. Again, extremely not worth it for Conjurer. Apparently the Block Rate or Parry rate increase is not very large.
    VIT: Physical Defense, HP, Enhancing Magic Potency. If you want to play Conjurer more as a support and healer class, you can invest some points into VIT as it's currently the only way to increase the strength of your Protect and Stoneskin spells.
    INT: Magic Attack. Contrary to what some people seem to believe, Conjurer's attack spells are quite strong, especially with Cleric Stance. If you solo or group up in small parties often, or find yourself in any other situations where you need to nuke often, it might be useful to invest some points into INT.
    MND: Magic Accuracy and Healing Magic Potency. This is probably the only stat that you should definitely put some points into. More Magic Accuracy means more reliable Sleep spells and your combos will be successful more often (they get broken if your spell gets resisted at all). The only case against putting points into MND is that CNJ gets a lot of access to MND through gear and materia.
    PIE: Enfeebling Magic Potency and Magic Evasion. This is essentially your chance at landing secondary debuff effects (such as Aero's Damage over Time and Stone's Magic Evasion down) as well as your chance at resisting debuff effects. edit: also boosts Max MP!

    Personally, I put points equally into INT, MND, and PIE as I try to play my CNJ in a balanced fashion. It's really up to your choice and personal playstyle as long as you avoid putting points into STR and DEX.

    Also if you ever forget what stats do, if you have popup help turned on mousing over the stats in the Attributes section of your menu will give you a little description on what the stat does.
