Stats are of minimal importance. The best gear gives large enough bonuses that it hardly matters. This is not an MMO. There is no direct competition. All you should worry about is having fun and playing whatever vocations interest you whenever you feel like it. I've never used support pawns and had no issues clearing BBI on hard mode as a Strider with "gimped" stats and Everfall/BBI lvl 1 gear on both my Arisen and Pawn. This isn't an MMO so do yourself a favor by not playing it as if it were. Just have fun.
