Cipher Ascendant attribute help.
Kind of in over my head here, my attributes are

Might 12
Con 10
Dex 15
Per 17
Int 14
Res 10

Are these any good? Or will i need more points in might to fill my focus bar?
My thinking was; with high Aim and speed ill fill my Focus faster than with high damage. I can then use the powered up spells to deal damage instead of my might stat.

I also though of going;

Might 13
Con 10
Dex 16
Per 16
Int 13
Res 10

Would this^ be better?

I'd rather go 15-15-15 in Might, Dexterity and Perception, and put some in Constitution, too. I couldn't care less about Intelligence, but my build needs the cypher only as occasional support of the main class.

Yeah im single class so the spells need a bit of Intelligence for the longer effect times.

Maybe i should go

Might 13
Con 12
Dex 15
Per 15
Int 13
Res 10

Am playing as a Mindstalker (Cipher Ascendant/Rogue Assassin) and my stats look like this:

Might 18
Con 4
Dex 16
Per 18
Int 17
Res 4

Am playing strictly wit guns: Dual-wielding Pistols and a Blunderbuss... I start every fight with a sneak attack which instantly fills my focus use the Rogue escape ability and just go to town with my abilities from the back. Once Ascendant runs out I go invisible, switch to blunderbuss and move close enough to take advantage of the rogue backstab passive (<2 meters to do 150% weapon damage when invisible) and basically fill my focus again with a single shot.

Now here is the problem with this build... basically my character is weaker than a wet tissue and dies if someone so much as just looks at her the wrong way. Am used to it though. Finished PoE1 recently with her.

Am playing on Veteran.

My advice to you would be to dump both CON and RES if you plan on being a ranged Cipher
