I believe INT is PGL's main stat and STR the sub stat. At least based on the patch notes that told us First and Second Bonus stats.



Has anyone confirmed this? The notes said they increased the effect of attributes on weaponskills, nothing about raising their cap.

well i have confirmed it by testing it myself. I don't have the test results to show, but I can tell you i have 320 str and 315 vit on my war and have noticeable damage increases. Also I tested vit 320 and vit 350 and saw an increase in damage but the damage was much better by sacrificing dome VIt to get str to 320. I would suggest getting the main stats to 320 and then adding attack power since I was unable to find a cap.

ARC/BRD: 330 PIE / ~295 DEX
LNC/DRG: 348 STR / ~305 PIE
PGL/MNK: 348 STR / ~305 INT
MAR/WAR: 348 STR / ~305 VIT

- Tested using Ifrit weapons. Caps are lower if not using Ifrit's since base damage affects caps.
- You will always see damage increases with +STR regardless of cap because 3 STR = 2 ATK.
- Point for point, it is always better to invest in +1 stat over +1 ATK if you have not capped.
- If adding STR before cap on melee, you get a bonus for the stat and a STR:ATK ratio bonus.
- These "caps" represent the weapon skill caps. Auto-attack caps earlier.
- Only 1 WS was tested per job. It was assumed caps are the same for all WSs.

Ah sorry going to edit. Should be post 1.21. I'll talk to Valk today about the VIT thing. It's an easy thing to flesh out for him. What weapon where you using, on what mob were you testing on, and if you noted, what was your damage MIN/MAX before and after exceeding ~305VIT?
