humm jeah lateron magic may be better since the summon looks like its doing a crapload of dmg in combination with the 2 seals + the "big ball"
(and i meant for lvling at the beginning phys is better since you get stronger skills ... you get the white tiger with 3x something (dont remember it .. but i thought you get it pretty late) and the seals with 25 = /)
seems like the grabbing hand isnt really used and with only 1buff and 2 atk skills till 3xsomething isnt really appealing (at least to me) and since he knows that a priest patch is coming he could get it easier with lvling as phys and getting a "free respecc" lateron, when he has more skills available
