Scholar stat question

[Kasandaro]

I'm still kind of miffed they didn't bother to have Scholar traits swap to mind bonus instead of lazily inheriting from DPS Arcanist traits all the useless int. That is 12 wasted attribute points. When you only have a total of 14 to spend at level 32, that is actually quite a lot of waste. O_O

I suspect their logic was along the lines that, since we have the fairy to offload some of the healing, we'll have more downtime in our rotations to use the dots from ACN, which all require INT.

Except fairies are nigh useless without a way to choose what they auto-cast and what they don't. They immediately waste the AoE regen the second you tell them to cast anything, making micromanagement impossible. Either they cast everything automatically, or do nothing. There is NO way to have them cast only the things you want.

Also, that's what Cleric Stance is for: instant-swap int and mind with 10% damage boost. Not swapping DPS stats from int to mind when switching to a healer job is just... lazy? Or a huge oversight. Either way I can't continue to play and enjoy leveling the class until they fix these issues, especially the faerie thing.

If you play Scholar most of the time, put all stats in MND.
If you play Summoner most of the time, put all stats in INT.
If you play a mix of Scholar and Summoner, put stats 50/50 into MND/INT.

Does anyone have any resources this information is being pulled from or is this speculation. i would be interested in seeing where this info is coming from. it seems unlikely that you would gimped for switching. from what i've heard each does have it's own stat allocation.

Just wanted to point out that when you equip the Scholar gem you gain a decent chunk of stats. I go from 193 Mind/202 Piety too 274 Mind/242 Piety just from equipping the gem without any gear by a Grimoir on.
Ah probly should mention that's going from Arcanist - scholar.
