Since you are all discussing stat changes, post patch 1.19, I thought I'd pass along some info regarding the changes to stats that we received from Triairy. It looks like he left off physical evasion, so I'll bug him about it. ;)
Quote:
STR: Attack Power
DEX: Physical Attack Accuracy/Block Rate/Parry Rate
VIT: Defense/Enhancing Magic/Max HP
INT: Attack Magic Potency
MND: Healing Magic/Magic Accuracy
PIE: Magic Evasion/Enfeebling Magic/Max MP
Stats And You!

Also if you could be so kind to ask id there is a difference between attack power and STR on materia. From my understanding STR is a WS damage modifier, While attack power increases your normal attacks damage. Any way to confirm? And thank you

How about some information regarding like.. "attack power" vs STR? Which is better? I know for example in FFXI if you equip an item with STR you'll see your attack go up a bit right? But that doesn't seem to be the case with FFXIV.

10-22-2011, 08:02 AMBruceyBruceyBangBangSTR, as far as I can tell, Boosts your one hit 1 hit WS tremendously, but as far as normal auto attack goes it pushes your damage output thresholds higher when pushed against Mob VIT. What is left over is the resulting DMG of your attack power VS Mob defense.Quote:
