You spread yourself too thin, in my opinion. When the level cap is raised to 79, it may be more feasible to go with a 3-stat build instead of the standard 2-stat system.
As it is, at level 59 you have 64 stat points. Spread among 3 stats, it would look a bit like this:
END - 29
SPR - 15
STR - 20
That 20 STR, while nice, is only +24 damage per hit. If you're going STR, I think you need to ignore SPR and just go purely STR. When you choose STR as a cleric, you're essentially choosing to solo more than you party. A STR cleric (Say +35 str/29 end) kills at least 30% faster than a SPR cleric of the same level, at least in the 50's.
In the 30's the solo rate is probably closer to 50%. The higher you get, and the higher level your weapon is, the less beneficial strength becomes overall, going by simple percentiles.
If your base damage at level 20 is 40 on a yellow, with +20 STR your base damage is now 44. That's a HUGE increase.
Now compare it to level 40, if your base damage is 80, and you have +20 STR still, your damage only goes up to 104. Even if you have +40 STR your damage is only 128. A ~50% increase instead of the previous ~100% increase.
Diminishing returns. Don't forget it.
