So I'm able to level one or the other and am deciding between the 2. This character will be for pvp purposes only and I was wondering which one is better.

For the Lustrous Str Mages..is it hard to be a str bear? Str bears...is it easy to beat a lustrous str mage?

what are the pros and cons of both.

I've seen str mages own str bears..but at the same time ive seen str bears own str mages.

so which one?
