Please Change the Wording for STR and DEX!

[Sakasa]

Not too late to clarify it's use/correct the statement though and pave the way to get future classes/jobs on a more thematic and archetypal gear set!

Well they might add gear that carries both str and dex again when the level cap is increased so newer players won't have to get both. But on that point eventually they will have a split again when the new end game is set. And while it is possible they could use dex in a core melee situation or str in a core range situation or even pie for special damage types those would be exception added to the class/job so They wouldn't actually need to change the tool tip if the core rule applies. So reduce titan's str reduces damage making virus no different and following the rule so no exception. Now we do not really have an exception in the game at this point so the change of the tool tip would not be needed.

I'm hoping it's not Dex, but a lot of people seem to believe it might use it.

(I personally thought they'd save Dex for the gun based class they have in the works)

a lot of ppl are delusional, like those ppl that thought sch artwork, wasnt sch.
or ppl that think nin will be dex, just cause it was in (insert list of other games)

(*: I'm running on the assumption that Guns will use DEX in similarity to ARC and that Twinblades will use DEX based on the recent .dat mining of traits. Traits can be found HERE and my rough translation can be found at the bottom of the post HERE)

Are you going to ignore that Lv X Petrify and Stone, is listed together with Batraal skills, suggesting that Batraal uses Stone and lv X petrify? it doesn't.
They aren't listing skills in order, and nowhere does it specifically say that dex boost is for rogue/nin...so ppl should stop saying (as you can see here, *nin will use dex*)
Also, i'm going to assume those traits are for gun class.

Your wording would suggest that ACN/SMN/CNJ/THM/WHM/BLM would do increased damage with str....they dont, except for AA, which is hardly their main source of damage.
No one is confused about what str description means...you're just confusing yourself over twinblades, because you're expecting it to be dex based...which it wont be.
did you even look at your own wording? you include every single melee wep into str, except daggers...and include daggers with all the ranged weps.......really? you don't see the logical fallacy?
str=melee weps
dex=ranged weps
daggers=melee weps=str.


also remember, they REMOVED elemental wheel....to SIMPLIFY the game...why would the suddenly complicate things by giving ninja, different mechanics?? and change how dex work, for ninja specifically?
the reason for shield lob, talon, etc being str....is for simplicity. cause if they were dex based, they would do shit damage, cause melee classes dont use dex gear.
do you think spear throwers throw further/harder with dex or str?....yah, not dex...
the entire concept of dex increasing any kind of damage, is stupid cliché, to begin with.
actually str should increase bow damage also, because the further back you can pull the string, the more powerful recoil, and the more force will go into the shot.

Great misconception of archery.
You're aware than you can't pull more and more on the string because if you do so, the arrow will simply...fall ?
The only realistic thing is that powerful bows should require a certain amount of STR for you to even shoot, which the required level pretty much cover.
