I've been trying to find some set in stone answers for my Pugilist and there's a few things I just want to clarify.

I just hit level 10 last night and I haven't allocated any points yet. A lot of other forums are saying STR/DEX/VIT, but 99% of those posts are from last year, or earlier.

Here I see STR/INT and I noticed that INT is pretty high naturally on my Pug. Soo with that said

STR/INT for my pug and rely off of gear for DEX/VIT?

And is Pugilist and Monk the same thing already, or do I need to lvl other jobs like I would for PLD and DRG? If so, what other jobs do I need to lvl to unlock MNK?

I'm just trying to figure this out now so I won't gimp myself in the future.
