Did I put my stats right?

I'm lvl 35 Cleric, but I haven't played in 2 years. When I saw my stats I had distributed points like this:

87 MAG
37 DEX
38 VIT
38 STR

So, I have no clue how I did my build. Is it good or bad? Am I offensive of defensive build? Thanks.

    Ouch.

    I'd just make a new character since your strength is far too high for your level and your dex is entirely unnecessary. The cost to restat all of that is really not worth it.

    I hate to say this but with stats like that, it would probably be best to start fresh with a new character (you could buy a restat scroll if money is no problem for you, but why not save yourself some money and start with a clean slate). You could potential go light armoured with all that dex (which only needs to be 4 points above your level), but with points in vit already, you will not be able to equip your best weapon for your level because you will be short on mag points.

    Thus, I would consider a new cleric (or a new class) and choose a build to focus on. For a cleric, I would suggest you go either light armour; all mag; or all mag with some vit (hybrid) - my cleric is all magic with no dex and 20 vit and just enough str to equip my gears.

    Having said that though, its just a game so you can could simply continue on as you are, but your character will not reach its full potential with that build :(

    :edit: Ok, I restatted and now I have:

    (no armor)

    135 MAG
    9 DEX
    19 STR (to wear certain armor)
    35 VIT

    I hope that's better. It's more like a 8 MAG, 1 VIT, .5 STR build every 2 lvls. And the extra 4 DEX is just some left over from the restat (which I think isn't a big deal to restat again).

    a good way to calculate ur STR is [ Ur lvl + 8 ] / 2 (ex. 40 lvl + 8 = 48 / 2 = 24 str u need ) this doesnt work if u use patakas.

    i would recommend getting ur vit to at least 40 so u can have 2 HP recovery points.
    the dex u can restat later , if u decide to restat ur vit once u get all the "endgame gear and refines".

    That's good, could always put the dex away later. I'd leave the vit as is for now, as you'll be getting more later (according to your self-described build) and you are only a 4x char.

    Decus, why would I need to spend 3 gold ($3) to restat 4 extra DEX? I'm sure I can just totally ignore it, 4 points isn't going to do much difference I'd say. I lvled 3 times in one day just solo, so I feel like my stats are fine.

    Call it a small thing, but in time it will keep nagging and nagging and nagging at you till eventually in your 8-9x you can't stand it anymore and you restat.b:bye

    You don't have to do it, I said you could. I had 10 dex myself for the entirety of the time I went from 1-85. I just never had the desire to restat it until later.

    25 dex =/= +4% crit...

    20 dex gives you +1% to your crit rate
