Stats

From what I understand PUG stats are INT main and STR second, do I dump all stats into just those two? Do I need some in DEX as well or any other stat?

Fwiw I plan to be MNK eventually.

STR main and INT secondary.

For stat allocation do STR23 INT22

Personally I'd put the extra point into Int as it's easy to cap Str with some good melded gloves.

Just curious, why does INT affect us? Please excuse my ignorance on this subject. Every description I read on INT describes stats that aren't really melee stats. Are there hidden stats or something?

Thanks

It doesn't anymore. It did in 1.0

got ya. so basically want to just spam STR then I guess? with some VIT somewhere in the mix?

I just been stacking STR all the way too. Been wondering if there comes a point where you get diminishing returns before you cap it out at +30.

STR > VIT > DEX

for armor:

STR > Critical Chance >
Determination > VIT >
Skill Speed > DEX?

idk about the 2nd one personally

Slightly off topic, but is that armour listing the same for all melee? My friend's levelling MRD/WAR and asking me for help in gearing it, but I've only ever played DOM Classes on XIV (I've done a few levels on DOW, but nothing that requires actual thought).

WAR will most often be asked to tank.

In this topic, I typed out what each stat does. Since this is a PUG thread, the most important stat is your STR, second being VIT (purely for your HP pool.) DEX does not affect PUG/MNK in anyway other than Parrying. For gear you'll want

STR > Critical > Determination > Accuracy > Skill Speed > VIT
