So, now Monk/Dragoon have to compete with yet another class?

For the people that thought a stat which increases ranged attack damage was going to increase damage with a class that uses daggers yes it was.

In most RPGs, DEX is often both the normal DEX and AGL. Meaning both hand speed and body speed. Ninjas have both, and rather than add a new stat to the game which would result in a massive change across the board in what each piece of equipment's primary and secondary stats would be, it'd be far easier to just make it run off DEX and save the trouble. Not to mention Ninjas throw Kunai (DEX based), and use hand signs (DEX) to use various Ninjutsu. DEX being their primary stat is pretty much an obvious guess to many.

The producer of the game has just said the class will use strength and you're still trying to argue???

Hand signs can also be Int based, using magic as chi energy, like Monk did with his auras in 1.0 (active auras consumed MP over time)
