Optimal way to play both Sch and Smn?

Just watch, you'll have a crazy min-maxer come in and preach about how bad 15/15 is and how every point counts.

3% 3% The horrors Noooo how dare you do it. Goes against all that is min/maxing!!! But yea, please so min/maxer come and show us your wisdom.

For DPS, should not be an issue. But for healer, I have encountered may times in which just that bit, is the diff between life and death. So really do not know if it would be a great impact.

It's dumb that they share ability points, but yeah, just put 15 into each. It won't make much of a difference in either. Or for the one you play more, put in 20 vs 10. Idk.

It's weird to have leveled ACN --> SMN to 50 knowing I haven't unlocked SCH but that's it's 50 for whenever I want to. Hopefully SE doesn't do that more in the future.

Kind of been wondering about this too. I unlocked SCH, geared it out in full DL healing, but too scared to heal with it in case it's not as good since all my points when into INT. So I levelled WHM. But SCH is something I want to play sometime... SMN is my main, and always will be, but just want to see how the other half live.

I'm not really at this point yet since my acn is only lvl 32, but I've been thinking about putting everything in INT and using cleric stance on SCH. that would still allow me to use swiftcast, surecast and protect. am I missing anything here? any skill I absolutely .must. have that won't allow me to use cleric stance? I've tried asking this in several topics before but people either ignored it or yelled at me, which makes me automatically not take them seriously -.-

Wouldn't cleric stance also affect the stats you get srom Equipment? In which case you would Need to wear int gear on your sch and as far as I know that is not possible for everything over Ilvl 70 (I could be wrong here i haven't played the mage classes yet)

This doesn't work because Cleric Stance does not only swap your INT and MND attributes, it also increases offensive magic potency by 10% and reduces healing potency by 20%. So even if you wind up having more MND by using it, you're still taking a 20% hit to healing throughput. Cleric Stance on SCH is used exactly the same way it's used on WHM--for when you want to deal damage.

thanks for not treating me like a little child for a harmless question

Err... I think you're not quite getting what Cleric's Stance does

eerrrrr.... I think you're not quite getting why I was asking.
