Scholar and Summoner shared attributes needs fixed!

this is an intended choice every smn/sch needs to make, the only reason it affects them and noone else is because they are the only class with 2 job options, once more jobs are introduced you can bet your ass they will have to make these same choices

they gave us the armory system so that we may have a bit of vesatility in our character builds, they never said that every one of our jobs was going to be able to be maxxed out with no penalty to our other jobs with this system

I see no reason to force this so called "meaningful choice" when the game was specifically designed (down to the subscription types available...) around playing on 1 character and 1 character alone.

I mean, I can be a MNK with maxed out STR and switch instantly to a BLM with maxed out INT.. mechanics wise there should be the same for jobs of the same class.

The restriction feels very out of place to me. (an out of place time sink )

You may disagree and the game designers may disagree for now, but it doesn't invalidate some people's wishes.

all classes on 1 character, to be exactly. Each class have their own stats. And you can reset the stats with an easy obtainable item.

But you couldn't level Monk and then automatically also have a level 50 BLM at your disposal. You HAD to invest time and energy in BOTH of those party roles. ACN=2 Jobs for the time of leveling 1. So it is important to have some limitations. SE already made it so your choices aren't permanent. With a keepers hymn, you can switch back and forth as you please.

Don't worry, other classes eventually face the same "problem".
And it's a good thing we have to choose at some point. It's pretty boring to be exactly the same as all the other characters on the server.

I love to play smn and I want to play sch well.

You can. I have stats allocated for SMN. I can still play SCH just fine. Heck, sometimes you'll even see a SCH or WHm reallocated points to VIT for turn 5 because the extra mind doesn't make the difference between winning and losing.

This is unacceptable! No other job has to make this choice.

Too bad. New jobs in the future will have to make this choice too.

Decisions to be made are good in games. If you can't handle decisions, well, this game isn't the only thing you'll have trouble with. This isn't a permanent decision either. You can spend company seals to respec your stats.

Currently this and your grand company are literally the only decisions a player makes during the game that lend any uniqueness whatsoever to their character.

Even for Titan, that extra 300 HP with 30 points in Vit can push your HP into the safe zone to cover for any mistakes if you are only in darklight. Aka survivinf eating a bomb, or a plume.

Every time I see this argument I think of the following "why cant they let me use a great axe and a shield, I like great axes and i like shields why cant i use them?" simple, it's not what is intended by the developers. The game has options, you want to tank and use axes go ahead be a warrior, you want shield then be a paladin, saying you can't do both is a bit childish. What next we will complain that you can't have more materia than slots or cant add more than the cap to make it as good as allagan gear? People need to learn that the game is young has a design and a future planned out. They made you have this choice for stat allocation because it will be a choice in how you want to play with what is offered. as most people say SMN is INT and SCH is MND, then why not remove stat allocation fully and just give is solid stat boosts instead?

[Mini_Me]

Ok here's the deal. All they have to do is make SMN dependent on MND for one reason. That way no matter what you do, you will always have one dps class, and one healer class available to you. BLM/SCH = INT SMN/WHM = MND

That way there is no need to scream bloody murder about spending 10k GC seals every time you want to switch between heals and dps.

solution: you can make a alt and have perfect stats on each class , like that you will also have to work for each job , not getting 2 for price of 1
