It really depends on the type of armour you wanna wear.If you're looking at heavy armour, which gives you highest physical defence but lowest magical defence, then you will have to put something like 5 strength 1 dex and 4 mag. This obviously gives you severly underpowered spells (only half your total skills are used on mag, which means you only achieve 40% of your max. damage potential), and is therefore discouraged.

Then you got arcane armour, which gives you highest magical defence but lowest physical defence. For this type of armour, every 2 lvls you should put something like 1 strength and 9 mag (you don't need dex for arcane armour). This maximises the effectiveness of your attacks, buffs, debuffs and heals but leaves you as fragile as a twig. Then again, clerics don't have to be THAT tough where health is concerned, you got your heals.

Lastly you have light armour, which is something in between. When I say "Something in between", don't misintepret it as "the best of both worlds". It's more of "neither here nor there". However, to wear light armour as a cleric, you should look at 2 strength, 2 dex and 6 mag. Once again you do not realise your full damage potential, but it is not as bad as for heavy armour.

It might be tempting to put some points into VIT in the early levels, but it totally obliterates your damage
output later when each point of MAG gets more and more valuable. Plus, the amount of HP you gain from
VIT is simply too low to make any difference. Leave it at 5. Getting the lacking HP solely through your equipment will be much more effective.

Hope this has been helpful.
