A Question Regarding INT and MND Allocation for Scholar

[Nexfilius]

This is all another very good reason to use mouseover macros for healing. Now that your debuffs are forced to the left of the debuff stack it's quite easy for you to see what DoTs are in effect as well as how much longer they'll be running.

I always keep the boss targeted. Always. In those little moments you're not actively throwing a heal, then drop at least your instant cast DoTs like Bio/Aero. If you have time to drop Bio II, Miasma, even Thunder, then great! But don't forget your role in the group.

That multi-taskability is where Scholar truly shines. It's a hybrid class, but unlike most hybrids it really doesn't pale in comparison to a more singularly focused class (White/Black Mages for instance). You proactively reduce healing required by contributing to the DPS pool of a group.

There are a lot of misconceptions about fairy stats, which is surprising because it's so easy to test.

Cleric stance and any other external stat buff (ie mind potions) have no effect on your fairy.

A fairy's stats are determined as a snapshot of your character's baseline stats + equipment stats at the time of the summon. Stat change from cleric stance and potions are ignored. You can also strip naked after summoning it and your fairy will retain the same stat values.

The purpose of Cleric Stance is to give healers the ability to deal damage while soloing. It's not supposed to be the thing you used to cheat your stats when playing ACN.

If you want to be a SCH, put all your spare points into MND, gear for MND, and the large boost to MND provided by your soul crystal will give you what you need.
