Mmhmm, I tried to heal HM Garuda with full strategos gear...pretty difficult I found, while if I had 30 more mind it would've been cake.

Think of it this way, you know all those parties for Titan etc that want you to have full darklight?

Well if you have full darklight gear on with a full int build...you would only have the mind stat of full strategos. And so...they really don't have any reason to take you over a "normal" built scholar in greens.
