The strength/magic buff augments in this game make any vocation viable for any build. I have a strength build I'm running around BBI as a Magick Archer right now. Not much magick attack (around 300 I think) but with the gold-rarified Blackwing Bow, Acuity/Attunement augments and magick enhancing armor my bow's damage is well over 2,000. Add in 9-fold and Explosive Rivet and he pretty much owns.

I'm not recommending this as a Magick Archer-specific build, just illustrating that you really can't go wrong, so a good balanced 500/500 build will pretty much dominate as any vocation in case you get bored with MA eventually.
