I have been basically doing pure mage build till level 67.
odd levels: 1 strength 4 magic
even levels: 5 magic

Obviously I take damage pretty bad and was thinking of boosting my vitality.
Right now my vitality is 33 at level 67.

I was thinking of doing

odd levels: 1 strength 4 magic
even levels: 1 vitality 4 magic

OR

odd levels 1 strength 1 vitality 3 magic
even levels: 1 vitality 4 magic

What do you guys recommend?

    Stagger your points however you like. You only need 50 STR for your 90 gear so you can cap it there. How many points do you want to have in Vit first of all? Just enough to surive in general or a lot for more dire situations and PvP?

    Just to be a nitpicker, you only need 49 str for level 90 gear, sky demon pearl at 87 will give you the str needed for TT99.

    Id recommend having no less than 50 vit, but my own personal veno has close to 150 :P.
    Once your str is at 49, Id go 3 mag 2 vit every level, but thats just me. Decent refines would yield ~6-7k m.atk, significantly lower than pure mag, but youll have close to 6k hp unbuffed, and still higher m.atk than LA/HA.

    What ever decision you make should be fine though :o

    advice to fledgling archers:
    Going sage is like drunken sex, at first she may look good, but when you wake up the next morning; you'll look at her and go WHAT HAVE I DONE.

    I started out with 50 Vit for my Veno but ended up getting one shot at Soulbanisher in 1-3 on like his last few AoEs with BB up. Then I bumped it up to 60 and then my in game hubby got me a reset note and we restated my veno to be more vit/mag. I have a base of 130 Vit at the moment.

    Refines are +5 with perfect garnets and citrines (told my in game hubby I want to sparkle in my TT90, no idea why). Perfect sapph in my weapon also refined +5.

    I can vouche that it hurts a little being hit by that weapon....
    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.

    I'm another veno that likes to have some vit on my character (not quite as extreme as WaffleChan tho b:surrender ). Lvl-83 I'm sitting at 90 vit and with citrines in some of my gear, I have just under 4K hp.
    As someone said already, you lose a little damage by not having those points in mag, but it sure is nice to not get 1-shotted (often at least) by the mobs/bosses we have to deal with b:victory

    oh seriously you only need 50 strength for level 90 gear? Wow.
    I want enough vitality to basically not get killed so easily. Once that aggro goes on me I go down easily and I don't like that.

    I think I may follow the 3 mag 2 vitality build each level for awhile. And work my way up to 50 strength and stop there. I've followed the pure magic way for awhile that I don't think a low magic attack and defense will be a factor.

    I just feel like a hassle every time I die in a squad xD

    Thankyou guys for the input it was very helpful. b:pleased

    Wheel of Denied Fate, the glaive. I chose it because it had the highest damage and I liked the end result (TT99) best. I intend to make a shot for Sinrabansho, just to see if I can. b:victory The Glaive is my main weapon path though.
