Strength Magician/Cleric
Introduction
STR Mages use STR as their main stat therefore enabling them to use melee weapons but making their magic attacks weak. STR Mages mainly use their magic to buff themselves and leaving their fighting to melee weapons. Becoming a strong STR Mage is tough but with the help from this guide I will hopefully lead you down a successful path.
Why Be A STR Magician
Pros:
- Can Heal At 2nd Job
- High Defence(all defence spells maxed)
- Unique and Different Class
- Makes Use Of Certain Event Weapons Otherwise Useless By A Normal Mage
Cons:
- Low Damage
- No Mastery
- Cant Wear Normal Mage Equips
- Training Can Be A Bit Tedious
Starting Your Character
Create a new character and name it. Make sure your stats are as follows:
STR: X
DEX: X
INT: As high as possible
LUK: 4
X=anything
The reason for you to use this build is simple: You will be raising INT only to get the 1st job advancement and then never after that, you will never raise LUK seeing as you will never use anything that needs LUK requirements. STR and DEX will be raised no matter what, so it does not matter what they are now.
