STR chinese can't kill a smart warrior, you'd only have to worry about warriors and rogues.. rogues moreso imo, but only because if they get two crits with mortal wounds while you're down you are dead (that is if you play without bless and skins)
I had a HA set until 87 but ints were owning me so hard, switched to robes ftw.
Get good at switching weapons.. cast healing cycle on yourself always (faith gives you a 20% healing bonus) and you'll barely ever die.
Only really good thing about LA is the charity defense passives.. but that's for pussies who give themselves defense buffs, KB and heal until their bless / skins are ready.
The str int etc is also nice but there's usually a lot more clerics than warriors on a server so let someone else do it, I personally don't even have the str int skills.

but ya i do recomend you using robes or la, la if your subclass doesn't let you use robe or its not up to your level, you'll want la for grinding as well because you start fighting creatures with magic attack, if you can manage it earlier it'll mean you can go wing tribe over gens, and nachos over gaurds (which is very good xp cause those things go down easy, and better to go to at 58 instead of every one skipping to gaurds )
