It was sarcasm, but thanks for pointing out the consequences of doing that. =P
At any rate, you use AoE spells in a party. Since Mages hardly ever solo at higher levels, there's no point in getting END. At all.
The main stat you should be pumping is INT, and maybe SPR if you want to crit more, get a little more SP, and make use of your magic defense. We have very little need for END, because we shouldn't be getting hit anyway (even when we're pulling monsters). We're damage dealers and masters of magic - both offensively and defensively.
Anyway, I think it's safe to say that Magic Missile is your bread and butter for an "auto attack". Sure, you have to spend 3 SP and manually press the button everytime, but consider that you already have extremely high SP and 3 of it is a very small fraction. I find it more useful than an auto attack, anyway. With its cooldown at 1.3 seconds, I attack at nearly the same speed an archer with a crossbow does.
