Question: When you take the 10 points (using the lv. 30 Quest reward - 10 Stat Reset Scrolls) from a stat(s), can you put the 10 points you took into another stat(s)?
You can.

The following statement is coming from a mage's perspective, and is shared by others as well:

As a mage, I now have 87 points in INT, yielding a bonus of 104 damage damage per hit.

An associate of mine has compounded the data in Excel, and has derived the conclusion that the bonus damage which results from the 5% critical bonus that is the result of 25 points in SPR simply does not counterbalance the damage over an extensive period of time.

In layman's terms:

Given: Critical rates are random, time is unlimited.

Damage of full INT > Full INT + 25 SPR.

This is assuming if you have no costumes on. The results may be different if you factor costumes, but it won't make much of a difference.

I recognize that clerics do half the damage of a mage per hit, but that's 30 extra damage you lose if 25 points go to SPR. And 30 damage is a lot per hit when you only do 400 on an orc at level 60 with a maximized orc license.

Don't you love statistics?

And yes, you may allocate the points into any stat you choose.

a skillful Cleric will mend and assist, but a legendary Cleric will rejuvenate and defend.

If I could, I would.

Keep in mind that's my opinion. I pretty much soloed to 57 with a 1:1 STR/END build, and in retrospect I think that going full STR may have been a better idea.

The records for highest damage are all held by full STR fighters. Aka StarLeona with a 1hko on an Orc Captain, and Seva with a 1hko on an Orc at level 57.

Isnt 1:1 STR:END and 1:1 END:STR the same thing? either way i think its good.... but after 50 END, u get less shield block rate per point in END, and you gain +1 defense per point at odd amounts of END, so i would stop adding into END after reaching 49 END and start adding STR...
