INT effecting some dark moves

Tooltip descriptions are kind of outdated at this point, since they removed cross class for the role system there isn't really any overlap between jobs anymore (the only exception that comes to mind being SMN's physick). So all jobs just scale off their main stat. All NIN moves are DEX based even their magical ninjutsu's, all DRK and PLD moves are STR based even their spells, all healer spells are MND based, RDM vercure is INT based. Etc.

If physick was changed to INT on SMN basically all tooltips could be updated to just say increases effectiveness of <Job>. Except VIT which would just be increases max HP.

The thing is that the tooltips have all been updated with 4.0. The INT tooltip currently states that INT affects DPS and tank magic damage, but it's incorrect for the tank part.

It just means we're getting Blue Mage in 5.0 and it's going to be a tank.

Oh, no it's technically correct. If you equip INT gear as a tank or dps your attack magic potency stat will go up. However tank spells are effected by the attack power stat, which raises with STR, not the attack magic potency stat.

The reason it's worded like that is because your attack magic potency stat goes up with MND as a healer, while it goes up with INT as a tank or dps. Hope this clears things up.

But then it just misleads new players into thinking that they're gonna do more damage with Holy Spirit if they use INT jewelry or meld INT in their gear. There's still no point in wording it like that in the tooltips, they should just say "INT raises caster DPS classes damage".

And I agree with you like I said in my previous post, but that doesn't change the fact that that is the reason it's worded as it is right now.
