In the longer run which build is better? Also do STR mages rely on weapon attack gear or magic attack gear more and what is a decent end-of-game weapon for STR mages? Would they rely on a weapon that has magic and weapon attack so that their skills can have a decent potential?

id rather just be a permanent beginner, why would you be considering str mage? because it is cheaper?

STR mages do not require ANY int/m.atk. Everything goes into str/dex/att/acc. They're really almost exactly like beginners, except they lose 16ap to int, they can tele-attack, and they are tanks(due to MG and MA. Clerics also get invincible)

STR mages need w.atk weapons because all their magic moves do VERY little damage. They do not use m.atk because even if they did, their damage would be so low due to lack of INT. That means no using heal, poison breath, magic claw, etc. They are basically perma beginners with support moves like tele and magic guard and a few other moves.

I'm not sure if they changed the poison mist formula to require acc? If they did, it is useless. Yeah, they get dispel, door, and slow too.

[/quote] im pretty sure poison is still not affected by acc if not then people would not be able to go to jesters at 40 as a poison mage

Which STR mage levels the fastest? I am assuming a poison mage if they can train via poison brace and poison mist.

Priests work best as Str Mages. They have buffs, which isn't affect by having Str instead of Int. Also, you can still heal yourself for some pot saveage.

They are basically all the same... If you go cleric, then you get invincible and bless(for 20acc), and f/p's gets slow If you ever get to 3rd job, priests become HS mules for exp, and f/p's can mist at skeles. above Clerics can NOT use heal. It heals <10hp per cast, since they don't add int

STR mages are usually priest so they get support skills
