Can always go the "jack of all trades" route. With the exception of Piety, damn near all my stats are within a 2-3 point margin of one another. Mainly because while I will indeed focus on Lancer, I know sooner or later I'll regret overemphasizing one thing over the other.
There's also speculation about crafting jobs having focuses on certain attributes as well. Again, speculation for the moment, but it's worth keeping in mind as I am sure you'll be aiming to choose a craft for profit's sake, if not for gearing yourself.
Ahaha ... to tell the truth, I originally believed that elemental points dictated only your elemental resistances. So starting in Gridania, I just as well assumed to put more in Earth, there being more earth-based creatures and critters in the area.
Of course soon enough, I found myself drowning in Earth Shards/Crystals, and not enough of, say, Lightning or Fire or Wind (stuff I dearly need ...
), so it appears elemental points contribute to your shard/crystal/cluster returns, too.

A friend to the end to depend on you can.
