Stat allocation points

[worldofneil]

What could be done is that the stat allocation points would be automatically applied to the appropriate stat depending on which class/job you have equipped.

But if they're going to do that, what's the point in even given us a choice at all? True most people will put their stats in the same thing for each job, but at least right now we have a choice. What you're suggesting removes it completely and they might as well just add the stat points as we level up instead.

Maybe SE thought that because Arcanist gives you both a healer AND a DPS that it needs a slight drawback (no other class allows you to level up two different jobs at once) and that drawback being you have to share the bonus attribute points.

That is pretty much what I do suggest, yes. Removing the choice, since it is mostly a false choice - in most cases there is only one "right" place to put the points. The only outlier is Arcanist - and that's because it is the only class that is the base of two jobs with different main stats.
