2:1:1 end/str/spr is it a good build

I guess it's alright. You won't cripple your character or anything, but I am of the opinion that focusing on 3 stats is spreading yourself too thin. Others feel differently, though.

With a 2:1:1 ratio, at level 55 you're looking at:

END: 30
STR: 15
SPR: 15

That's fine on the END and SPR, but with +15 STR you're gaining 15 damage per swing and per bash. It just seems like a tiny amount to me. That's why most people that go with +STR either go exclusively STR, or 25 SPR then the rest in STR.

However, for a cleric, I would always suggest taking SOME endurance, which leaves you with a bit of a dilemna, since SPR is extremely useful to a cleric as well.

In the end, that 15 damage will help out, and when the game progresses, at level 85 (With +10 from the lvl 60 job change) you'll have a total of 95 free stats to work with, which will only slightly increase that total.

Which would make your stats look like this:

END: 50
STR: 25
SPR: 25

Like I said, it's your choice, but I really believe that STR on Clerics is sort of wasted.

I'm personally END:SPR, at about a 3:2 ratio, currently at level 41.

I was originally going this route... but now regretting the STR. The typical 25 SPR rest END build seems to be decent~ *2 cents

end and spr are quite usefull if u wanna go soloing... u wont need too much ehal and then u can hit more, and more crits with the spr, and more blocks with the end... so that in this way... u wont need so much str, maybe the mobs will die slower with no str... but its safer, and with a good mace u will crit plenty of times...
So as a conclusion, it depends on the role u wana develop, but end-spr is quite good

mobs dieing slower?
but you suppose to kill monsters fast and get loads of exp in this game that would be bad..

I'm still considering this build, to be perfectly honest, for when the level cap is removed, and I've reached 50 Endurance, 25 Spirit at level 60. Since endurance over 50 becomes effectively 3/5 as useful with the lowered block %, and spirit over 25 becomes effectively 2/3 as useful with the lowered crit %, there's something that needs adding to in the long run that may or may not just be one of those two.

For below level 60 however, I seriously suggest that endurance and spirit bonii are so good that strength isn't worth it. For over level 60, even then it's debatable whether Strength is worth it, especially in the long run, when the damage is a tiny fraction of what you'll do normally.
