You are talking about damage not attack, I was responding to Reinhart's comparison to XI. STR does not = a certain amount of attack they come into play at different points in the damage calculation. Without parsing nothing you just said can be backed up, so it would be nice for SE to weigh in a bit and give us a hint.
