As a Lancer you should be focusing on STR as this increases melee attack power.

Actions

Actions are skills that the Lancer can equip to their bar and select to use at any time as long as their timer is available. Actions used in a combo will generate additional damage and effects. All Lancer actions are exclusive to that job.

Role Actions

Since the Stormblood expansion for FFXIV, cross class actions were removed and replaced with the concept of "role" actions. Role actions are more generic as they don't belong to specific classes, but instead to roles such as melee DPS, magic DPS, healer or tank. The Lancer can equip up to 10 of these.
