ninja gears

Yeah I don't know why they thought it was a good idea to leave everyone even more confused and not elaborate even the tiniest bit.

I'm pretty sure it will just have the two stats but each job really uses only one in damage calculations. They can live together.

the question is why do this? if that what they want to do? why go into trouble to add another stats to the gears instead to simply make the ninja use the str like any melee class. only for make different or please people from other game? it make no sense

No, all MNK gear will now have Dexterity on it, this will be in addition to Strength. Just like pre-50 DoM gear.

I do wonder what this is going to mean for accessories.

If they do decide to add dex equal the same amount of str that is on the gear that mean monk gets extra parry rate no? Good thing no? I mean not like monks need to tank anyway so is a useless stat so meaning they just lazy to add more gear for ninja but using old gear instead I mean I am ok with that actually I mean you don't really want extra set of gear just for ninja or else there will be too many job gear drop that no body needs in coil

they need to clarify now what they means, because yes, the armor will give str+dex, if the ninja is dex based... still any add of str will increase my melee damage since it how it work.

It means that NIN will use the Aiming line of accessories.

As for Parry, the Dex-Parry conversion rate is really low. So don't see it being much of an issue.

Strength won't increase your melee damage as NIN, since SE will set the NIN Attack Power equation to ignore STR during calculation.

Does it though? They seem clear on intent on pairing mnk/nin off, I wouldn't be surprised if they added Dex to Striking/Gloam also.

And to top it off, rogue cross classes with Lancer and Pug.

Maybe they thinking that ninja has ranged attacks like bard but they are dex based so the dex is there for it but ninja is still a str based class but at lease that's how these guys are speculating
