Do Strengths mean anything to Ninjas?

[Evangela]

I'm using the Gloam set and considering to switch to something else, which doesn't have any strength bonus.

err, Ninja's main stat for attack power is DEX, you dont need to worry about gears having any STR.

I know that. just want to know if STR mean anything to NIN at all.

If you have aggro, you can parry an extra 1 or 2 percent. >_>

So, no.

So, no.

Actually, DEX affects parry chance. STR affects how much damage you'll Parry.

But like DEX, you need a lot of STR to really make it worthwhile, and you wouldn't go about melding STR to your gear just for that.

That's. . .what I said? >_>

LOL OK thanks.

Intelligence does more for a NIN than Strength does. That's how useless it is for a NIN.

Does intelligence actually boost ninjutsu dmg? I know that its considered magic dmg hence its boosted by foes but i still thought it would scale with DEX nonetheless.

No, INT does not boost ninjutsu damage, DEX does. INT does nothing for ninja. As for STR as has been said it does nothing for your damage, only thing you're losing is 1-2% parry strength nothing to worry about. Only reason they put NIN on MNK gear was cause they had similar aesthetics so it was easier to put DEX on the MNK gear than add new gear for NIN.
