Why do sch and smn share point allocation

[MathewZilla]

please make these separate pools, how hard can it be

Well you're only looking at the con, for a pro, you get 2 jobs unlocked for levelling one base class!

[shields977]

Point allocation is done through classes, not jobs, because you don't have a "job" before level 30.

[LexSunfire]

you're assuming that it's a mistake for both to share the same point allocations. I assure you its by design that sch and smn share the same point allocations. I know there are also rumors that there will be more jobs that come from same class that will share point allocations. the game is all about choices. you have to choose one or the other. sometimes you just can't have it every way you would like it.

[MathewZilla]

all about choices, to be gimp playing one job or not

dont really care if its intended its absolutely retarded that I have to spend company seals to play a job efficiency just because of point allocation

Go all INT. SCH isn't very "gimped" with full INT since all you're there for is to mitigate damage

Also be glad we have the option to change our stats to change to another "primary" job. With other MMOs, once you choose a class or job, you're locked into it. Permanently. You don't have to choose between SCH and SMN because you can freely switch between them.

If you really care about Minmaxing (like myself) make an entirely separate character. I main SMN on this char while my alt mains SCH

Just curious, I read many ppl suggesting players focus on both jobs should go all MND, they said the benefit of all INT for SMN or all MND for SCH is not very significant, but go all MND for SCH will has more advantage when Cleric Stance.

All INT would be the better option because SCH doesn't need 30 MND at all. I know SCHs who do T5 flawlessly with 15 MND 15 VIT or 30 VIT. What's important to a SCH is the MND that comes from gear, Weapon damage, and crit. As long as you mitigate damage, you're golden. SCH isn't a WHM and has a completely different playstyle. Yes having the 30 extra mind is nice and all, but like I said, it's not needed

The issue comes with playing SMN. SMN NEEDS the 30 INT in order to maintain it's famous DPS

Also just want to mention, even if one pumps 30 MND to SCH, SCH won't have the same 497-501 MND with i90+AG weapon compared to a WHM. Maybe this also shows that SCH doesn't emphasize on MND as much as WHM.

I do this but I also have 2 allagan books on my main I'd like to use without this artificial, pointless restriction
