    Scholar using Cleric Stance Conjurer is useless

    One of scholar ability to cross-class skill is Cleric Stance, its literally useless
    its more harmful than useful,

    Level 39 scholar,

    Int = 226
    Mind = 202
    Healing Magic Potency = 202
    Adloquium = 250 - 264 range

    Using Cleric Stance cross-class ability

    Int = 202
    Mind = 226
    Healing Magic Potency 226
    Adloquium = 221 - 231 range

    so without Cleric Stance, you dps more with your dot, and heal more
    with Cleric Stance, you dps less and heal less, all because the ability itself.
    it work great as a Conjurer, since your stats should be put into MND, you do
    more damage, heal less.

    As a Conjurer the mechnic work as intended sacrificing healing for dps.

    But as a Arcanist/Summoner/Scholar your main stats is INT, using it thinking
    the swapped higher INT into MND would boost your heal, have a opposite effect
    you do less damage cause of less INT, even with the 10% damage boost, and heal
    even less while in that stance cause of the -20% healing.

    Its a wasted ability made avaliable to a scholar. the only other useful thing to pick
    is Protect / Aero / Stoneskin (meh - cause of Adloquium buble). it should be taken off the list of aviable cross-class skill. The mechanic of Cleric Stance as a scholar is broken borked, work fine as a cleric.

    Im hoping it was an oversight they made the skill avaliable for the scholar to cross-class
    so until then, i recommend anyone who is a Scholar not to waste a slot on the skill thinking it would boost your healing.

    Scholar main stat is MND.
    Arcanist and Summoner main stat is INT.

    You'll just have to decide where to put your bonus points.

    If you put MND points on the Scholar, you'll have much more use of Cleric Stance.
