Check how your stats are balanced to see which augments you need. Going with a strength increase requires Warrior vocation level 9 for Clout which grants 20% strength bonus. Then there's the augment Acuity from the Sorcerer which gives 20% Magick bonus. That one becomes available at vocation level 9 as well. If you're already a high level character you can increase your levels.

Now it's always a good idea to get some levels of the special classes. Warrior not only adds 5 strength points and 3 defense points as well as adding 2 Magick points, it also adds 40 HP per level. Sorcerer adds 5 Magick and 5 Magick defense points per level as well as adding 2 strength points. So in the end with 10 levels of each you get 20 strength and 20 magick points more than you would get with a strider.

If your Magick and Strength are balances you'd get a good kick out of both Clout and Acuity, but the last one depends on the use of an elemental weapon for it to work. As far as I know there are no elemental bows so you'd depend on getting an element from a spell. If you're unsure then you're safe just getting 10 warrior levels and level 9 vocation in order to get Clout.
