Strength is the primary damage dealing [[attributes|stat]] for melee [[classes]], [[lancer]], [[pugilist]], [[marauder]] and [[gladiator]], and [[jobs]], [[dragoon]], [[monk]], [[warrior]] and [[paladin]]. Higher strength equals higher [[Attack Power]] for these melee classes. Strength no longer affects [[parry]] or [[block]] percentage with [[Heavensward]]. Also has no effect for [[rogue]] and [[ninja]], despite them being melee. They use [[dexterity]] instead.
