Is the WAR skill Tomahawk affected by dexterity?

[Iscah]

PLD's Clemency, despite being a healing spell, is still governed by strength.

Unless it's an oversight in the description, that's not what the stat menu says.


Copied from the game:

STRENGTH: affects physical damage dealt by PLD arms, WAR arms, MNK arms, DRG arms, WHM arms, SMN/SCH arms, BLM arms, DRK arms, SAM arms, RDM arms, AST arms

DEXTERITY: affects physical ranged damage and damage dealt by rogue's arms

INTELLIGENCE: affects attack magic potency when role is Tank or DPS

MIND: affects healing magic potency. Also affects attack magic potency when role is Healer.

So from that description, I would expect Clemency to be Mind-based and Holy Spirit to be Intelligence-based. If that's not the case, it's bad wording and/or an oversight on their part. The individual skill descriptions don't tell you which stat they are based on - that would probably be a good idea if it's messy like this.

Likewise, confusion over PLD/WAR's ranged attacks is understandable. It is a physical ranged attack (although also a physical attack dealt by PLD/WAR arms) so seems to fit both descriptions. If it is only meant to affect actual ranged classes then the description should list them by name, like it does for Strength.
