This is probably a very basic question, but I can't really find a good answer anywhere after looking.

On a weaponskill such as Knights of Round the stat modifiers are:
40% STR / 40% MND

In this situation, should I just stack as much STR as I can since the modifier percentage is the same, or should I try to balance out STR and MND equally?

Thanks.

STR will have additional benefit of both fSTR and attack that MND does not give.

STR has an extra benefit to attack, lile DEX has extra benefits to acc and crit rate, etc.

Ignoring for a while those extras, its not a matter of choosing one or other or balancing both but choosing the gear that has the highest sum of both.

For example. Supose you want to choose a ring. You could use Ifrit +1, one of the highest STR available, but for ws like savage blade, that is 50% str and mnd, Rufescent ring would provide more because its str+6 mnd+6 so stat+12 for ws.
