User blog comment:JosephTomega/1 to 200 Level up status/@comment-4930133-20120610045939/@comment-5178481-20120611145921

I plan on doing a M. Archer as well, but I refuse to play that class until I'm leveled to at least 150....The stat progression is one of the lowest of all the classes and playing as that class early on really nurfs a lot of base stats that have the potential to be much greater over so many levels. I see plenty of videos online of people playing as a M. Archer and they're not really doing much dmg because they're playing the class way too early and are really handicapping their base stats.

If you want to ultimately build the best possible charater you can for the play style you want...I would study the diagram that JosephTomega posted above. It's a valuable tool and can make a lot of difference.....also take into consideration Augmentations of all the classes - sometimes its worth it to rank up classes you might not regularly play just to get the Augmentations for you main job. Hope this helps.
