    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.

    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)

    They do share gear with Nin, but if you look at the gear since Nin was released SE has gone and added Dex to all of it. Most those pieces that use to be Mnk only originally only had Str on them.

    Just a side effect of how they let the gearing process of NIN gear pre-2.4 progress. It was either have NIN share pre-i130 gear with BRD, with MNK (by adding DEX to their gear, mostly useless to MNKs besides Parrying), or create an entire line of gear just for NIN, and they chose MNK.
