Here's how it works:
Swords are Str/Dex ratio of 75/25, that means the bonus effect is 75% of your strength PLUS 25% of your dexterity.
Daggers are Str/Dex ratio of 10/90, that means the bonus effect is 10% of your strength PLUS 90% of your dexterity.

The latter

Since there was a lot of testing, a lot of people being told they were wrong, and a lot of confusion, i searched njaguar's last few posts in order to try find some clarification.

Here's what i found:






Some quick examples:

Using a dagger with 200 melee stat points:
150str/50dex:
150*.1 (10% of str) + 50*.9 (90% of dex)
= 15 + 45 = 60 points of 'power'

50str/150dex:
50*.1 (10% of str) + 150*.9 (90% of dex)
= 5 + 135 = 140 points of 'power'

Using an axe with 200 melee stat points:
150str/50dex:
150*.5 (50% of str) + 50*.5 (50% of dex)
= 75 + 75 = 150 points of 'power'

50str/150dex:
50*.5 (50% of str) + 150*.5 (50% of dex)
= 75 + 75 = 150 points of 'power'


Note that the actual ratio does not matter.

As stat points increase, the more 'extreme' ratio weapons (dagger + club) will take over in total damage as the much higher multiplier of the favored stat outweighs the bonus you get from your base character stats.

I hope this clears some confusion up.

TL;DR: Pump the stat with the highest number in the given ratio.

.9/.1=1
.75/.25=1
.5/.5=1
.75/.25=1
.9/.1=1

Seems to all add up, but using daggers. Put one point in dex, you get ~.9ee, put 2 points in dex and you get ~1.8 ee. With axes, put one point in str or dex, you get ~.5ee, put two points in and you get ~1ee. However this little chart is assuming everyone will put into str and dex evenly to get ~1ee. You are forced to do this with axes and stupid to do it with daggers/clubs. If you put 200 points into str/dex with axes that would equal ~100 ee, with daggers if you put 200 points into dex that would equal ~180ee. The screen shots that I've posted and others show this is the truth.

Dagger calculation is correct, but should'nt it be this with axes?:

should be bold + red so people see this

Quote (derDrops @ Oct 12 2010 07:08am)

also if u ignore str for daggers and put all dex...

0 str / 200 dex
-> 180 points of 'power'

result: dagger are 80% better than axes!
