the best is from Inqu for me
path cleric>sorc>inqu>cardinal
(mage become strong because buff,you must always use it)
since you can get offens buff:
Orpheus Poem lv.4(idk what level this can be max),
intelligence lv.5(max)
fortunate magic lv.3,
twingkle magic lv.5,
wizardy lv.4
concentration lv.2
deff buff:
Armor link lv.6
shield lv.8
passive:
witchcraft
light armor expertise
and if you want increase the skill for HP
there so much skill for give disturbing buff to enemy.
and there 3 AOE i think its good enough.
