PGL Stats

I'm sure somwhere buried in here is a thread simallar to this but I am too lazy to dig so I'll ask for me: What stats should I be stacking as PGL (namely for point allocation)

I've gone STR/DEX, I hate missing.

Pretty sure everyone's gone STR/INT, except for ^ that guy.

Max STR and then put rest in INT.

I'll assume the damage output is increased with INT somehow at later levels? :P Such as Fists of Fire & Blindside strikes?

Way wrong. You may wanna redo it.

DEX doesn't give much accuracy. Better off using Accuracy gear. Even a single Electrum Ring will give you more accuracy than 22 DEX.

STR and INT both increase AA as well as WS damage. They increase at different rates though. INT is also a modifier for Second Wind, and increases how much it heals you on PGL/MNK. INT does not have a particular effect on elemental fists, but does provide a bonus to Blindside on PGL/MNK when you get the appropriate trait.

STR is capped at 350 and INT at 310 at level 50. They cap earlier for AA, but those are the values up to which they continue to increase WS damage universally.

Str and Int are your damage stats. As for any DoW class, Dex for accuracy. Vit will increase your defense, but this isn't a tank class and you shouldn't be putting def into the unchangeable part of your build.

this made me rofl. i thought exact same thing.

Keep in mind the guy with DEX isn't 50 yet. Gear isn't as good and you don't join large parties before then so DEX might be useful until cap.

Probably not though realizing he's not 50 does impact my reaction. I can forgive someone at lower lvl's who might not read patch notes like the bible. That being said at any lvl the focus is STR/INT I bet you get the most bang for buck even soloing at lower lvl's.

is it 100% sure ?

I have a question about attack, it looks like it doesn't matter much with combo skills.

I switched my AF hands for melded Attack+68~ there was not much difference on skills damage, as i haven't 350 STR cap, i was asking myself if hands with melded STR+46 (x5 materia) would be better than Attack+40~68 ?

Until it caps at 350, STR gives more damage increase than Attack Power, so yes your STR+45 gloves would be better.

Jump on that STR materia while it's still cheap

Q.F.T. Str prices have been steadily rising and with good reason.
