    Well if u wanna be a physical attack but also have decent buffing ability then go 2str 2mag and then u can spend the fifth point on what u want, but i'd say this its better to be a high mag def because some of our magic spells do physical damage, so we don't need to get close to inflict large physical damage, that and we just don't have the hp (if you are high hp then your attack/heals suffer greatly), i went a 3-4 mag per lv and then the extra point into ether str or dex most of the time.

    If u still want to be a close range brute then a high str will let u wear heavy armour....it has the highest physical def but the lowest mag defs, i personally i'm a light armour cleric....it gives me plenty of protection while allowing me to have powerful attacks!!

    So the answers to ur questions basically:
    1. a str/mag build with slight dex mostly (tiny bits of vit)
    2. heavy armour if u plan to get close but if u wanna keep ur distance go for light armour (ur'll need to invest in both str and dex for that, only small amounts though).

    True physical attacks don't really work with a cleric in this game. We have no skills to boost melee attacks and no special melee attacks besides just whacking things with a stick. In addition our heals are all based on magic attack, hence if you have your points in str instead of magic, your healing will suffer. If your wanting physical attacks in the sense of swinging a sword/mace/weapon at an enemy and staring in it's face, cleric is not a plausible way to do this.

    However, the staple attack of a cleric (plume shot) is a ranged magic arrow that deals physical damage. If your wanting physical for the sake of avoiding resists and such, you are ok here, but your build should still be mostly magic as even your physical attacks, are based on magic.

    As for armor, I'd still recommend sticking with arcane gear myself, due to the major drop back your offense and support would take for putting large amounts of points into dex and str, but that's just me, I do know of a few clerics who have pulled of light or even heavy armor builds, and been successful. (there's quite a few other posts on this forum on armor for clerics, read them for the pro-s and cons)

    The problem is that most enemies are physical attackers and robe clerics tend to really die easy due to lack of physical def (and the fact they keep interrupting u in the middle of casting) i like light armour due to its all roundness, it allows me to solo and yet if i'm in a party my mags high enough to provide decent heals and buffs (i make sure i got the right amount of str and dex and rest goes mag when i got the right stats for my current lvs armour, must say robe clerics do such high damage and heals it really makes ur jaw drop off, but its my opinion.....i justr hate dieing :(
