I'm not an A/M, but I think I have a general idea.
First of all, most people of any job nowadays are statless, since getting enough secondary stat to equip a endgame weapon is relatively easy. For mages however, you might have to increase your luk to 25-35 in order to equip an ele staff 7/8(requires 168 LUK). However if you are planning to use an elewand(130 ones) as endgame, 4 base should be fine
Right now, it's all about potentials, and %int should be your Number one priority. While Matt is more useful than it was pre bb, once you have an average/slightly above avg amount of magic att, it's the %int that will contribute to your damage. %INT is the cheapest of all the stats, but can still be very expensive, You're looking at 1.5bil per 15% int equip. Remember, if aren't too rich, it's better to have 4-5 6% int equips that you can get for 300mish each, than one 15% equip that cost all your money. If you look around fm, especially with the new crafting system, you can find some cheap 6-12% int items, since most people sell them very cheap. As for magic att, I would start focusing on magic att equips once you have a above average amount of % int(60-75%). Again, I'm not a Mage, and I'm basing this off my general knowledge rather than specific circumstance.
