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.

[Evangela]

LOL OK thanks.

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? >_>

At first glance it sounded to me like you meant Parry an extra 1-2%, as in Parry 1-2% more attacks, Parry Rate.

But, what you said could also be taken both ways so I got it once i remembered STR effects parry damage taken - So was just a quick misunderstanding.

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.
