Please allow SMN/SCH separate stat allocations!

This makes no sense though. Why should I be able to play a whm and blm but not a smn and sch?

WHM and BLM come from two classes that play entirely different. SMN and SCH are the only jobs at this point that come from the same class that branch off in two directions: healing and dps. Attribute points aren't being put into SMN or SCH, but ACN since that's actually what you're leveling. Personally, I dumped all my points into INT and I play both classes and I haven't had any trouble healing on SCH whatsoever. In my opinion, attribute points all boils down to preference.

In my opinion, attribute points all boils down to preference.

The main Darklight pieces give 77 MND, and AF2 gives 112. So an all INT SCH in AF2 with their points specced into INT is about as effective as a Darklight equipped SCH with their points in MND. The difference 30 points makes on healing is dramatic.

And it seems like SE was trying to take a "give-and-take to getting "2 jobs"" approach to limit the advantage someone leveling Arcanist would have, but considering it only takes a few days to grind to 50, they've only succeeded in limiting the play options of people who level ACN.
