So, I recently started a FAC, after leaving my wizard because of its unbelievably low survivability (even with leather armor). I've read Caeyon's guide, as well as another from a different forum, and I see 2 main builds, a middle ground, leather armour build with:

6mag, 2str, 2 dex,
Or a pure build:
9 mag, 1 str.

My friend is a level 34 FAC, and I've talked to him about his build (middle, leather build). He tells me that he believes having the extra dex and defence from leather armour increases his survivability drastically, whereas Caeyons guide talk's about how FAC's dont need survivability because of their ability to kill quickly and heal themselves if they are in danger.

So, I guess my question is, for a purely pve character (yes, I know I'm on a pvp server), which build would be better taking in account for survivability and damage? Thanks b:victory

    Pre lv 60: 9 Mag, 1 Str
    Post lv 60: Use a stat reset, use either 6 Mag, 2 Str, 2 Dex + Hp shards
    Or use 7 Mag, 2 Vit, 1 Str + P-Def shards.
    Position: Professional Forum Troll
    Position Details: Be able to incite people to flames and perform miracles such as telling people what's right and what's wrong. Be able to dish out flames to other people so fire extinguishers are needed to put out the flames. Most of all, giving others a piece of reality.

    You could consider being light attack cleric.
    Looking for a decent casual understanding Faction.

    For PvE, at least before 60, full magic (9 mag, 1 str every two levels), is what I'd recommend.

    For Holy Hall / Twilight Temple (60+) a significant amount of vitality is generally recommended. Light Armor ("Leather Armor") is also a possibility here, some people have said. But most cleric's seem to go for vitality instead.

    I agree too though she could go 7mag 2vit 1str from the beginning, that would save some cash and extra hp is never bad to have at any lvl.

    Ignore him, that way he'll get bored at some point.

    Thanks guys that helped :D I think I might go with adding a bit of vit mixed in to even myself out a bit.

    Nice. An FAC with vit. If you want to be a DD class, at least dont fail at it.

    Trading 10-15% damage for far greater survivability is not fail at all.
