When you are a DRG or a MNK, The game says AP = STR, and takes the AP amount and puts it into the damage formula, For BRD it instead says DEX = AP and so that is used instead, it will be the same for Ninja. So while they will have STR on the 2.3- gear it wont be used for damage purposes. Damage formula takes AP which is determined by main stat. Main stat is just a number with a description that has secondary uses.

Not sure if I can simplify it anymore. x.x
