Why do sch and smn share point allocation

You can reassign your stats to 15 Mind and 15 Intelligence. That results in a mere 22 HP per Adloquium reduction on average according to the healing returns calculator here. That shouldn't prevent you from doing endgame content.

[...] I've yet to find a situation where I go "If I only had that 30 MND...if only."

You both make a fair point in that the difference isn't big, but when is it ever in this game? +30 mind are roughly +5% healing, DPS classes scale a bit better so 30 int is roughly 8% more damage. Some games would have you sacrifice 5 talent points to improve healing or damage done by 5%. Especially when pushing highest tier content, neither of those is negligible.

If I were to play both actively I would probably go 30 int, healing generally seems more forgiving than damage and you can make up for lower heals by precasting and keeping the tank topped off. Still, that is a bit besides the point for I am one of those people who always strive for the best performance, so these 30 points matter to me.


Anyhow, I don't wanna turn this into a flame thread. I'm ok with having to chose between Summoner and Scholar, though I do wish there was a better way.

I can't wait to see how people react when they start bringing out the 2nd class for each job lol.

Oh no, I can't be a Paladin and Dark Knight because I need those 30 points move from Vit to Str.. no fair no fair.
