When I first saw this, I was like WTF, what in the world now.. Then I remembered, this is part of an update transitioning that I made towards the beginning of this update, and had forgotten. Will be updating the announcement, and posting about it shortly.

A quick summary is that each weapon now has a Strength/Dexterity ratio that it benefits from. Ie, pumping 100% into Strength is no longer the best option (unless you're using strength heavy weapons). Will update the portal with the details in a bit.

edit: Okay, I updated the portal.

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.

Etc.

So, nothing is nerfed, you just have to adjust your build stat placement. In fact, this BOOSTS dagger wearing classes, since they have naturally higher dex, for instance.

Updated character profiles on the forums to use the same calculations.

And I see that kosmas has already taken advantage of this, and really amped his damage.

Hehe, do you remember the good ol' dex Stephan? now THAT was overpowered.

Maybe this will be aswell. I'm just glad to see dexterity being more significant once again (for specific builds, that is)

And bare in mind that the 10/90 ratio is for daggers, not all weapons.

isnt that very much overpowering dexterity for daggers... i mean u get ur dmg mostly calculated from dex + u get ur chance to crit from dex + u get the crit multiplyer from dex -> absolut overkill for this stat
