Thanks, Iwazaru! I remember reading about it now...still a bit confusing until I see it for myself, but I like the concept!

[Ruanark]

Yeah do NOT go pure INT if you're going SCH that's just a really bad move, -20% cures {Thanks for the offer but I'll have to pass}
At lv50, I believe we have 30 pts to allocate, so 15 int/15 mnd should be fine for those who want to play both SMN and SCH and not have to pay 10k GC seals when changing jobs. That 15 INT/MND you'd be missing will be negligible in the grand scheme of things.

[Iwazaru]

Yah from what I've read just a decent chestpiece at endgame has about +20~25 of your main stat and then 2-3 other stats that are slightly lower on it..so +30 stat points is seriously small. the materia is the part where people will get most of their non-main stat points.

Really though having mind on a smn alongside the int is going to be kind of a gamble...either it won't work because stats are stretched too thin or it'll work really well and be a nice niche for people who enjoy supporting, hoping for the latter but if the former happens then I'm not sure what class I'd want to roll anyways so I'm putting all my eggs into this basket. *crosses fingers*

The 15 point loss from splitting your stats 50/50 is NOT a gamble, honestly, you likely won't even notice the difference from +15 int to +30 int, even with a parse

[Iwazaru]

Not talking about the 30 stat points, I'm talking about mind materias at endgame for smn so I can support/offheal.

It makes me really sad that Rouse only increases your pets healing...I read it at first and thought it meant the casters cure magic potency :/

Oh as for materia, you'll be using separate gear for separate jobs at higher lvls so you can easily use the appropriate materia for each job

[Ruanark]

ONLY go 100% INT if you plan on NEVER playing SCH at all, is my advice. Even though SMN will be my main, I like to mix it up from time to time and 10k GC seals is way too much imo

Can't you swap mind and int with a click of a mouse button? An ability they get at level 5 I think..

I would recommend to dump it all into Piety. You will want to maximize your % into MP skills and your Bonus Stats is a great place to get the extra PIE.

Yeah, for Scholar you will want to stack as much MND as you can, because using the cross class ability Cleric Stance your MND and INT stats will swap and your Damage % goes up. Like CNJ/WHM you can switch between a nuking and healing stance.
