Since MA uses both strength and magick with physical dagger attacks and magic bow attacks, it's best to be more or less balanced. If you have a preference, you can weight a little more towards that preference.

For example, my play style relies heavily on the daggers. So, I am balanced with a 60-40 edge towards physical. Had I favored ranged bow attacks I would have done a 60-40 build favoring magick.

As @AeonsLegend pointed out, MA is not the best vocation for stat growths leveling up. You get the fastest strength growth with Assassin and the fastest magick growth with sorcerer.

Moreover, it's good to have the Acuity Augment from sorcerer and the Clout Augment from Warrior. Less critical but also handy are Attunement (Mage) and Vehemence (Fighter). A MA with Acuity, Clout, Attunement, and Vehemence packs considerable firepower with Framaes (or HK daggers) and the Darkwing bow.
