How do I put attribute points for SCH & SMN?

[kog985]

Hello,

I'm new to Arcanist. I just switch to play to Arcanist to find some new airs. Currently I'm at level 22, and at first I want to go with SMN since I need more DPS class beside my BRD (I want to get BLM too).

But also, it hit another wall. I want to get my SCH at the same time! And the attribute points give me a little bit confuse because I don't know how to spare the points for both of them.

Currently I put all my points into Intelligent. Should I share half of those points to Mind? Or put them all to Int, and when I play SCH I choose to Cleric Stance?

Thank you so much for reading this and sharing your advices.

Well pick one to do and use cleric stance do use other. Other then that just gear up for that job

Actually, that's not possible. Cleric Stance would reduce healing and increase magic power when active. Not to mention that Scholars don't get int on their gear and Summoners don't get Mind on their gear. The difference is massive. A scholar in Cleric Stance would have something like 200 mind. Summoner's can't even use Cleric's Stance, so let's not even talk about that.

What you COULD do is stockpile on those stat-reset items. They're only 250 Company Seals nowadays. That is, if you can be bothered to.

Stack on the hymns to reset your stats and swap on demand. 30 MND when playing SCH, 30 INT when playing SMN.

Those stat-reset hymns used to be 10k seals pop so it was a pain in the ass, but as they are 250 seals now, you get 40 of those items for the price of one, if going by the past rate. Even if you swap between SCH and SMN often, 250 seals per swap is not a lot at all.

If for some reason you still don't like the idea - go full INT. Won't cripple your SCH gameplay as much as not getting max DPS on a SMN via having MND points would gimp you.

Please don't do this. If CS ONLY switched INT and MND, then fine but it specifically reduces your healing as well.

Honestly I just split the stat into two. I don't play SMN at all though so I could probably put some more MND oomph, but... I like DPSing as scholar.

As long as you're not trying to beat the final coil, any setup is fine. The ultimate thing you want to improve is your weapon, as Weapon Damage outweighs every single stat in the game. You can be a very decent SCH with 30points in INT (remember, for healers, skill > gear), as well as a good SMN with 30points in MND.
If you cant choose, go for MND, it will increase your DPS in SCH in Cleric Stance.

i did 15/15
i should just put all 30 in mind
i dont like playing summoner

[subteraneanbird]

worth noting that due to the way spells scale it is much more important to have 30 int on smn than 30 mnd on sch (healing spells actually do not scale v well, so you lose only a little hps) so if you dont wanna buy oodles of hymns and you expect to play both, take int.

After having my 30 points sitting in VIT for a while now, too lazy to throw them back into MND. I'd say throw them in INT as a Sch you probably won't notice the 30 less MND when you are fully geared.

Just arrived at level 47 last night with my Scholar (and Summoner). When I was an Arcanist I put my points into Intellect. After becoming Scholar my points went to Mind. I play Scholar as the main of the two. And as a healer, for me it's a nobrainer. Mind all the way So far I kept the points in Intellect which I put in back when I was an Arcanist.
