Has SE Addressed Stat Allocation on ACN Yet?

[Karnage720]

My main USED to be SMN. Like many, I unlocked SCH just for the lulz and to have another 50 job. Unfortunately, I ended up liking it ><. So much that I made it my main over my SMN so I switched my stats to MND. I don't want to retire my SMN entirely but I also don't want to play a gimped SMN, and -30 INT is a gimped SMN. I don't recall them addressing this problem, but maybe I missed it, hopefully one of you guys know.

10k seals to your grand company quartermaster will grant you a state re-allocation

Remember that SMN and SCH share stat attributes. So however you allocate your stats they'll be shared for both jobs.

I doubt they're going to do what you're asking for. They've already answered this question by saying that the tradeoff was fully intended, and that in the future other classes will have the same sorts of stat tradeoffs.

I solved the problem by putting my points in VIT and PIE... I know it's not ideal for either job, but I feel better not having to deal with having some bonus points be completely useless depending on which job I'm playing.

There's nothing to address. Stat points and soul crystal is our "speccing" in this game.

Kinda renders the whole "armory system" ideal pointless, though, doesn't it? This game is so relentlessly alt-unfriendly that I do not see any reason why this should be done, and certainly not forcing respecs to cost 10k seals.

Just remove attribute allocation entirely. It's pointless, there's no real choice or flexibility in the system and it only gives the illusion that we have some kind of input in our character's build. We don't. We have no input whatsoever. There are no talents to pick, the gear is all "higher numbers" without sidegrades/situational/spec-related pieces. There's zero opportunity for customization and personal playstyles in FFXIV, so why bother with this pointless attribute allocation stuff?

i constantly switch between STR PLD for pvp and ViT PLD For PVE. 10k seals are not that hard to come by.

That's what I did, simply because more hp and mana is more survivability. Say what you want but sch heal is not based on mind(it is more crit related than anything and overcuring is a mana drain although sch do not have so much of that problem as a whm) and smn 1 point of int is about 1 more damage so big deal. Again survivability > slightly better dps / base heal, also more hp and mana prevents a group dps drop, bard can play foe to boost your dps and not mages to cut theirs and more hp mean healers have to not worry so much about your hp and waste mana on it(the pie for the bigger pool also adds into more heals and if needed raises in battle and less of a need for a bard's mages). Sure someone will disagree, but from my PoV it is better to be more of a team player(stating stats that make sense and are against the "norm" than to go all out and say go full int on smn.)

Why is this game "alt-unfriendly" ? There is absolutely nothing preventing you to level up some alts. Nothing.
