Since they have increased the merits you can sink into attributes, I was wondering if people went and added more STR or added Dex to thf. I am 5/5 STR on my character. I am not sure if i should add more STR or DEX. What would be better to do?
Add more STR or add some DEX.

Thank you.

My feelings on this are to cap 1 stat, basically with the train of thought that 8 > 5 and 3.

if you've already got str, do more str

if you've already got int, do more int

only reason to merit anything else ever really would be agi for corsair and ninja (with kannagi), but even still, i'm fairly certain the str would still have the most worthwhile effect, at least for the latter

I just went from 5 STR to 4 STR 4 DEX. Figured all my jobs could benefit from balancing the two.

Slightly OT, but still isnt,
what merits should a THF focus on, Im guessing full Triple Attack % but what rest?
