It's easy to debate on the fact of more hp and damage. Now, I don't want to start a flame war, but I'd like to get my opinion out, maybe even see my own flaw as well as others.

Ok, well. To quote off many fighter players, "deal more damage". I can argue that SPR has the potential of this just as well as STR. Why? Although SPR does boost our critical, I am not going to rely simply on that fact as an argument (it's a bonus, really). What's the drive of SPR's potential is the fact it adds SP. You'd think that's just weird isn't it?
Fighters have a LOT of skills in the arsenals, so much they can almost spam it non-stop. What's more is that skill attacks are USUALLY, not always, higher attack than our regular damage.

Here, you are probably gonna argue "but STR affects the damage of those skills as well". That's correct, it does. But, the effect isn't significant. You get perhaps 5 more damage out of a 100? whilst your regular attacks probably is 60 normally? Wouldn't it be better just to hit constant 100's then?

I don't really have solid evidence of these facts, but these are opinions I have concluded through experience.

Second quote of many fighters, "more HP = good defense". That's logical, no doubt. So END is a great choice. But to me, that is not enough (TO ME XD). It's true, with a lot of HP, you can last longer than regular people.

But, magic is a crucial factor in this game (actually, it is in any game). By the time you've reached to be able to fight a magic enemy, you'd think "Ha! I have so much HP I don't mind taking those high damage attacks". While that works, it costs so much HP.
I'd save those potion costs by pumping up what's my weakness, magic defense. I'll lose some ground against other fighters, but a fighter is already naturally high HP and physical DEF type.

My last thing is considering the future. END is a great tool, but I personally don't think I will be a shielded fighter. If that's the case, I can't use END to its full potential as it adds shield block %. While on the other hand, SPR will be used to the fullest.

Well, these are reasons why I think pumping up SPR is so perfect. I'd like to hear thoughts on it, where the flaws are.

PS: if you're thinking it, you're right. I have too much time. :P
