    Nope, strength all the way for warrior.

    Now I'm wondering - is the tooltip for the stats really that bad in english? The german one for dexterity clearly stats that it only affects the damage dealt by the weapons of archers, bards and maschinists...

    In general though: Each class has their mainstat and thats the only one that counts (from the mainstats).
    And since the mainstats are almost always maxed out on gear, you want to meld substats like crit, direct hit, determination, skill/spell speed, piety, tenacity.

    As war you want to meld Crit, det and DH - I believe currently in this order.

    Mainstat-materia is pretty useless - outside of tanks melding strength into their accessories and some people melding vit during early savage progression to survive raid-aoes.

    the tool tip in english says it effects the damage of ranged attacks. So i figured throwing an axe is ranged maybe Dex effects it.

    Anyways I just ended up filling up my items with Determination materia. I hadn't realized there were materia for things other than the basic and crafting stats

    I never paid that much attention before but the English tooltips are a bit... odd.

    The one for DEX-


    And the one for STR-



    But yeah OP, as others have said, for WAR your main stat is STR, ignore the others. Your best sub-stat to meld would be Crit although you'll probably be alright melding Det. Sub stats aren't going to make or break a fight unless you are on the bleeding edge of endgame content.
