Pretty simple.
Club ratio : 90/10.
Axe ratio: 50/50.
So, if you have 200 str 50 dex using a club, you would do (200 * 0.90) + (50*0.10) = 185 "power".
200str and 50 dex using an axe : (200 * 0.5) + (50 * 0.5) = 125 "power".
Basically, if you had 100 str and 100 dex, you would do same damage using any type of weapon, because it would balance out.
But since you have a 90/10 ratio on clubs, you WANT TO maximize strength, because every str point is 9x more powerful than dex point, while on axe they are both the same.
I understand your logic completely and that is exactly what my own testing has shown. However, the creator of the game said I was wrong and that's not how it works. So I would ASSume that axes are not nerfed and I'm doing it wrong.

For the life of me, I can't seem to figure out how to get comparable damage with axes though. Any insights other then what I've already said(same as you) that will provide my axes with damage on par with daggers or clubs with similar stats would be very welcome.
