Attribute Points for Scholar/Summoner

[Kira_Darksbane]

This will work BUT keep in mind Cleric Stance increases attack by 10% and reduces healing by 20%.

I don't know what to tell you about gear, but I have a friend who did the Summoner/Scholar role and he dumped all his points in INT for Summoner and when he wants to do Scholar, he just switches to it and pops Cleric Stance to get his INT and MIND to switch.

The 20% loss in heal potency is greater than what you gain from the 30 points of INT converted into MND (you're actually sacrificing 30 INT for 24 MND given the 20% reduction). You'll never be an effective healer in Coil using Cleric stance. Cleric Stance is for healers to DPS solo or in non-major battles. It is not meant for DPS to become healers.

So if I'm doing Coils would that 15pts make enough difference to cause a fail? Or is skill enough to overcome the fact that i didn't max?

I do not think their is anything in the end game for any class that 15 points of any stat is going to matter. In some ways, this problem for arcanist's is the same as that of Warriors. There are groups of Warriors that go all VIT, all STR, or a combination. All of these have gone on to be successful in coil. (Though Warrior is not preferred over a Paladin, but that is a separate issue than this thread)
