Where should I invest my Attribute Points in MCH?

Like the title says what stat should I focus all of my attribute on for my MCH? Is it STR or DEX? I hear people comment on INT, but I wasn't sure and someone playfully saying PIE (which is more of a joke than serious notion) and I was wondering if you guys and help me figure this out.

What's the recommended stat to focus MCH on?

Not sure if trolling or serious.

If serious, put your points into Dexterity (Dex). It's your main stat.

If trolling, get out.

Seriously what is everyone's assumption with trolls?

It was an honest question I wasn't sure if DEX was the correct one to follow. Thanks you for answering honestly.

Read the tooltips........

If you're DPS or healer, you should always put your stats in what the class uses the most. For NIN/BRD/MCH, it will always be DEX. If it's MNK/DRG, it will always be STR. If it's SMN/BLM, it will always be INT. If it's SCH/WHM/AST, it will always be MND. Tanks get a bit of leeway on theirs due to both STR and VIT being good, so it's down to preference for them. For everybody else, you go all in.

actually some BLM will go for piety so that they can spam more spells before having to go to umbral while some SMN will go for either piety again for more MP (so they can spam ruin3 while out of dreadwyrm if needed) or vit (for there pet to have more hp) although the vit ones are usually only the ones who do hunts and a lot of the open world and pvp stuff...
edit: o and some WHM use to go for piety as well because the higher your max mana the more MP you would regenerate passively. (i dont know if they still do this)

I was asking in-game and no one responded to my question and sometimes people mix up the attributes around like some people have PLD with both STR and VIT (I want full VIT attribute) or WAR with that setup. I just wanted to know what people recommended stat-wise for MCH if it was either STR or DEX or another stat, I was thinking it might be DEX but I wanted to have a second opinion before I attempted to invest my attributes to that first to see what would be the most useful to my class and bring it's abilities out best for me to work with my teams.

You could figure this out by mouse overing your attribute stats in the character tab. Strength specifically increases only melee attacks, while dexterity increases ranged attack and melee for rogue/ninja. I'm not even sure where you heard people talking about INT on MCH from, that's not even a physical stat.

DEX...are we serious here.

Monks don't use Dex? I remember them sharing gear with ninja.
