Mind vs Piety, what are your thoughts

[avenra]

Hey guys as the post says, mind vs piety. what did you pick?

im 30 in mind atm, it's not bad but what are the values for each?

how much healing does 1 mind give, is there a cap etc, same for piety.

side note: does shroud of saints regen more if you have more MP?

[PetiteMalFleur]

I'm interested in this as well. I currently have 25 mind and 5 piety. I seem to do well with managing my mana and have been considering reallocating the 5 points into mind.

You can easily get PIE from food, so I think it'd be better to put 30 into MND.

[PessimiStick]

30 PIE is like 250 MP. MND is superior in essentially every way.

[Sziadan]

Didn't get piety at all, went for 20 mind and 10 vit instead since MP isn't a huge problem anyway.
You'll have Saint of Shroud + later on in dungeons where MP could get problematic you'll most likely have a Bard in your party anyway who can use mage ballad or w/e the song is called.

I was told once way back when I first started healing that piety is a crutch used by players who can't manage their mana consumption. While I think that's a bit harsh, it is true that your mana will go a long long way when managed properly. I would much prefer to have fewer, more powerful heals than to have more, weaker ones.

When I first looked at ACN I felt that it might be one of the few classes that makes use of increasing Piety for the increased mana gain from aetherflow but it turns out their mana costs arn't even all that high and if you don't spam adloquium you hardly ever drop below 50%.

i did the mistake of using 10 points in pie thinking ti will be a really worth aomunt of mp that i will gain, but last time i spend one pint it gave me 6 mp and now im still grinding company seals for that respec... on a side note perhaps there are some secret values that justify the pie investment but for mp is worthless (perhaps it improves the mp recovered by each tick of passive mp healing or shroud etc...)

[Raeletta]

I noticed I didn't have much more mana than I thought and tested how much MP I gained when I next put a point into Piety: 7 MP. Yes, 7. I'll be restatting into MND as soon as I earn the seals for it, it's a terrible "bonus".
