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

Piercing Talon, Shield Lob, and Tomahawk are not affected by DEX.
They are very clearly "Ranged attacks".
The stat descriptions ingame are absolute nonsense with only the vaguest suggestion for what the stats do.

Rogue and Ninja will use Dexterity.

Keep making the same argument in every thread you possibly can, it won't change the fact that ninja is going to be a STR melee dps.

Also, nice necrobump.

They literally said it was going to be dex based. Don't say "fact" unless you have support claim it as so.

It seems to me that since NIN is a DEX based job it is most likely they will share bard or get their own set ... they only share MNK gear up to 2.3 because by damn its cheaper that way.


EDIT
Curses! Foiled by the Necro bump once again!!!!

I think SE is going to go back and put dex on all monk gear retro activity then they will share gear with monk going forward.

Most likely. They did that with a lot of pre-50 DoM gear that has both MND and INT on the same piece. It's only post-50 do we really start seeing gear divergence.

Also, I'm glad they are taking the more lore-focused approach I predicted months ago instead of just taking the easy way out that everyone was so sure they would do.

I'm fairly sure a dev or in a live letter long before quoted it was likely going to be DEX based. For anyone to be surprised now, doesn't really pay attention. I long felt it would be DEX based because I felt they had said so already. Of course people were fast to assume, "I hit with weapons, I must be STR based.". They also use something akin to Magic, that makes perfect sense to use on an STR stat for that.
