I noticed that if you add up all these hard numbers at face value, the Fighter actually has the highest totals  of the three basic vocations at level 10, and continues to have the highest stat total gains per level up to level 100; 63. The Ranger is the second highest at 62. Strider, Warrior, and Mystic Knight are tie at third with 61. Assassin is 60, and the remaining spell casting vocations are down from there at varying amounts. But after level 100, all stat total gains equal 24 across all vocations.

So my suggestion, at least especially to brand new first time ever players maybe, is that you might as well start as a Fighter, and stay as a Fighter all the way to level 100. Then after level 100, you can level up with any combination of vocations you choose.

I wish I knew of these stat planners when I first ever began playing. Our stats look strangely distributed in my first Dark Arisen file, as I mostly just leveled up randomly. It wasn't until past level 130 did I learn of these stat planners. I then tried to level up with what I learned from here, but our stats still look rather disorganized even at level 200.

But I didn't want to lose just a month or so of hard work. So I recently decided to start a new profile on my 360 for the sole purpose of building a new Arisen and Main Pawn using what I mentioned above so that I have no regrets this time around. I've been experimenting using these stat planning tools lately and have gotten some rather interesting combinations.
