Stats & Bonus Points

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

Hi OP,

At the moment, I feel the stat points would benefit in one of three areas.

Vitality for increased max HP.
Mind for increased healing magic potency. When using the ability, Cleric's Stance, the Mind stat is used for attack magic potency instead.
Piety for increased max MP, increased MP regen in-combat, and increased MP regen between encounters.

From what I have seen so far in Phase 4 / Open Beta, I am personally pursuing Mind for stat point for increased healing during most encounters. I hope to make up any shortcomings in my max HP through gear, such as +Mind accessories melded with +Vitality materia. Will need to gauge how Shroud of Saints and supplementary MP from Bard's Mage Ballad play in before considering Piety (MP did not seem an issue as much in Phase 4 content as it did in Phase 3).

Should I encounter a series of area attacks or misfortunes that a durable healer could have endured, I will most likely adopt the "a dead healer is no healer at all" philosophy and respec to include Vitality, preferably until I can survive with a full Stoneskin.
