It sounded clear as day to me.
Most DoW gear up to 50 is STR/DEX anyways, so that isn't an issue.
Gear from vendors and Coils, Striking gear is shared with NIN, adding DEX along with STR. When you get to 2.4 gear, then it will split up MNK and NIN and they will have their own gear sets.
So if you want to be ahead, get MNK(of course not AF) gear and probably DEX accessories if you want to get a head start once at 50.
