Scholar and Summoner shared attributes needs fixed!

Working as designed ™

In honesty though, other than a few nitch situations (like turn 5), the changeable stats are an illusion.. think very few put them in anything other than a primary stat except for the occasional toss some points to VIT.. Hymns are easy to come by too even with the 10k cost if you don't like the setup.. from what I remember in 1.0 those were 1-time items per job with no way to get new ones.

Put it all into vit and be the conflag monkey in turn 5.

Put it all into vit and be the conflag monkey in turn 5.

Better yet take a SMN and a SCH.

Hurr durr design.

Would make sense if arcanist jobs were all that awesome, but you can't even issue orders to your pet if you don't put it in Obey (which still needs a target, for some reason).

What a joke.

once more jobs are introduced you can bet your ass they will have to make these same choices

When that happens, those extra 30 points will mean as much as upgrading one single gear to raid level.
Right now those 30 points are the same as upgrading a regular relic to +1.

Completely fair.

Yoshida hates the arcanist class, simple as that.
Just like that stupid crab from Blizzard kept going on gimping Shamans over and over.

Just keep using your GC points to stockpile Keepers Hymns. I've already got 5. Will come in handy once they add other jobs and we have to change stats on the fly.

People just don't get this do they? There is nothing that needs fixing, this was intentional. You are meant to choose one or the other, or as you pointed out be mediocre at both.

[Madoka]

The stat points belong to the class, not the job. The job is a thing you get for wearing a rock.

SMN and SCH was the first branching job of many. Over time we will be getting more, the idea is to ALLOW you to play every job, but you cant easily play them all at 100%. You pick your spec for arcanist if you want to specialize in damage or healing, you'll have to pick your spec for marauder if you want to tank or whatever it's hierarchy leads to. Not only are they NOT going to "fix" this, youre going to see more of it. People want the ability to customize, as long as they can be the best at EVERYTHING. it makes no sense. Its like speccing in any other game, no fire mages in wow complain that they dont have the best ice spells. Thats right, remember that? In almost every other game, there are abilities in your OWN class that you cant use because of decisions you made, at least in this game, you only have a slight difference in stats that honestly dont even matter that much.
It only seems odd now because arcanist is the only class with a branch right now.

This is working as intended.
Its unfortunate that you like both Summoner and Scholar.
I would make a different dps class or a different healer class, then youll have one of both. But going half and half points works too.

[LamiaTrucido]

Just let SMN equip cleric stance, then put all your points in mind.

Objections?
