Almost all melee gear that's not DRG/WAR/PLD is shared between all melee classes and have both STR and DEX on them.

There is also nothing hard about transitioning from other melee gear at the iLvL stage. This assumes if you already have Monk leveled up and/or have Bard Accessories. Regardless, reaching i110 will no longer be a difficult task at all, making the "process" complete irrelevant even if you don't have either leveled up.

You're trying to use a strawman argument to try and explain how STR is still the main stat for Ninja, when it's clearly obvious to anyone who was listening that it's DEX.
So if Ninja is DEX based and i have only MNK and DRG geared at max level, i won't have any DEX accesories ( that you get by gearing BRD) . How is that a smooth transitionning?

You're the one excluding possibilities because you're assuming its definetely DEX but it wasn't clear which part was a joke and which part wasn't, and even for the parts that where clear like sharing gear with monk, it can be interpreted in different ways.
