Your defense and hp are pretty good, which gives you substantial survivality,but you won't be able to dish out as much damage since you went for a balanced build.

In my opinion, the longer you play the game, the less defense stats and hp are necessary things to focus on improving stat-growth wise as you'll become better at avoiding attacks and such. If you feel like you can get to the point where you can avoid high damage attacks, especially from the bosses in BBI, then you could do a new character but focus purely on offensive stats. If you just wanted pure,raw physical damage and max DPS, my reccomendation is to go Assassin from 10-180, then Magick Archer 180-200, or if you prefer, just play Assassin all the way to 200. You'll get a base strength at least 950 which can go a long ways in improving max damage output. For maximum Magic damage, just go sorcerer from 10-200, although it's a bit more tricky to do.
