well the armor gives less def than weapons give str/mag, for a balanced build i would do 1-10 fighter, 11-100 warrior and 101-200 sorc, str566 def377 mag558 m.def268 hp5320 stam2640, sacrifices stam for hp. For a magical build i would rather recommend some MK lvs before 100, not actually full sorc. Sorc has the lowest hp and def stat gain before 100 and one of the lowest stamina. MK lvs will boost your def, hp AND stam by sacrificing m.def and mag. 1-10 mage, 11-100 mk and 101-200 sorc has 258str, 357def, 686mag, 477m.def, 4308hp and 3520stam, full sorc (1-10 mage, 11-200 sorc) has 258str, 177 def, 866mag, 657m.def, 3048hp and 3070stam. So full sorc has 180 less def, 180 more mag, 180 more m.def, 1260 less hp and 450 less stam. But there is no "best" build, just try to avoid Str for MA, Sorc and Mage and avoid mag for Fighter, Warrior, Strider, Assassin, MK and Ranger. M.def is also something to think about, it can be of course useful but even people with high m.def have to fear magick. Often because they have low HP and because magick is usually strong enough to overcome even very high m.def. But there is also one thing, Sorcs, MAs and Mages get less overall hp/stam, mage and sorc get 31/lv and ma 41. The other vocations are around 50/lv. Of course they get something for that, sorc gets 13 stats per lv, MA 12, other vocations 11. But this additional stat is, of course, m.def. okay many numbers xD just do it how you want to do, as sorc i experienced that the low def/hp/stam is a real problem, especially when being another class that can't run around like sorc. Some enemys even onehit me, Living armors and eliminators need two hits to kill me. Not really nice and i'm using the carrion set (not the helmet of course). The stamina is only a problem as MA against boss monsters because you have to use a skill frequently, but if you wait a bit and shoot only normal magick arrows, your stamina will be back and ready to be used. For more def, stam and hp, i would recommend MK before 100, don't have to do full mk or full sorc, not even have to be one of those, just do it the way you like and you want to have your stats.
