Suggestion for ACN Attribute Point Solution

[Asheilin]

Put here as it is both for Healer and DPS forums, unsure if another place would work better.

My Arcanist History: When the game launched I played an arcanist to 39, had both sch and smn. When I came back, I remade my main as arcanist and had hoped the dual job point system would have been fixed in some way other then 10k seals each time you wanted to be viable for the other job.


Upon finding that wasn't the case, I was saddened but continued as Arcanist is the one I love so far. Then, I got to thinking about how to fix the issue and came up with a few ideas I'd like thoughts on. Peronally I prefer something along the lines of #3 below. Thoughts? Other Suggestions?Keeping in mind the thought of enabling both Jobs to be Viable at End Game without constant GC Seal Farming to change out points whenever you need to run the "off-Job".

1) Simplest Solution although not the best, allow Arcanists and Summoners to use Cleric Stance as well, so the class can spec mind. Therefore Scholar has the stat it needs.

2) Second Simplest Solution: free relocation of points for all jobs. the seal bought one is only used for resetting points below 30/no job crystal.

3) Actual Arcanist workaround 1: Level 30 Passive Trait "The Arts" (or some such) that ONLY is in effect when a job soul is equipped, it is not actually "reallocating" the points just enabling every player to utilize both jobs if they desire to. "The Dark Arts" is Summoner's: It automatically switches all (MND) User Added Points into Int while the Summoner Soul is equipped. "The Light Arts" is Scholar's: It automatically switches all (INT) User Added Points into MND while the Scholar Soul is equipped. When neither is equipped, the User Added Points are where you put them. IE: Therefore if you placed points like this 10 INT, 10 MND, 10 PIE; the SCH would act as if it was 20 MND, 10 PIE; the SMN as 20 INT, 10 PIE.

4) Actual Arcanist workaround 2: at 6 arcanist's get both Aetherflow and "Paradigm Shift" This new ability is vastly similar to cleric stance. "Swaps current INT and MND attribute ratings, while increasing potency of healing magic by 15% and reducing potency of attack magic by 15%. Effect ends upon reuse." Cleric Stance increases attack by 10% and reduces healing by 20%, this would be useful for keeping INT as the Arcanist build, but gives a boost to healing even at low levels.
