Stats question

[Archadius]

Leveling a mage class has other benefits as well. For example, if you get one to 36 (and do the class quests) you unlock access to Guild Mark abilities that will highly benefit your melee classes. Stuff that converts 5, or 10 of a mage stat into the same of a melee stat, and those two stack for a total of 15.

Yes that's another good point. I am eventually getting my GLA to 36 so I can have Muscle Memory 2. It's more efficient to take 15 of my STR, which only costs 1 or 2 bonus points, and get the same amount of INT, which costs me 4 bonus points.
