Emphasis on this. ^ Attempting to DPS without the CNJ cross-class skill Cleric Stance is a pure waste of time at higher levels. You can get away with it at lower levels because the values of your INT and MND are relatively close to one another, but the higher you level and the better gear you get, the more that gap increases.

And, sadly, because of Cleric Stance, your INT once again becomes completely irrelevant, because Cleric Stance allows you to use your MND in place of your INT. So, yes, INT points are still a waste when you're playing on SCH. Of course, for the reason I just posted in the previous sentence, the higher level you get the less important those 35 stat points become.

An associated danger that pretty much every healer has to deal with: Be very careful that Cleric Stance is turned off before you try healing someone, as your heals become super weak with Cleric Stance on (since you're using your pitiful INT in place of your MND).
