Magick stat is important for this Vocation so it's good to start as a mage. You should consider using Sorcerer as well as it gives you a great Magick augment if you max it. Plus it gives good stats for Magick.

IMO the stat progression of the MA is broken since it has the lowest damage output of all vocations. It only has 2 str and 3 mag adding up to only 5 and the bow is only able to use magick. I've played as an MA a while but stopped after I got annoyed that my Pawns took down foes much faster than myself. I didn't level my char correctly though.

In order to give your MA a good starting boost I'd use at least 10-15 levels Mage, 10-20 levels sorcerer and 10-20 levels Ranger to get your stats up. Downside is that most people have finished the game when you get to that level.

Just so you know the MA is pretty weak if you go pure so you should consider at least adding Sorcerer. Melee will suck with this Vocation no matter which way you look at it because it lacks strength.
