[Dev 1032] Attack boosting skills and STR not working properly?

[Firon]

While grinding some Materia I notice that my WS was doing same damage without using any Raging Strike/Ferocity, I tried this about 30 times kept getting same damage unless I scored an critical hit.

Now, I have been using all the stat rings in the game to see what stats boots what all stats currently boost something except STR. After equipping + 25 STR no stats have changed except STR stat.

Could someone else test this and see if this is a bug for me only, or is it just not working properly.

Same thing.

Yeah i know but i wanted to add the str thing too cause it was not in the OP

I'll have to check this out later, thanks for the heads up. O: So, I think you missed some punctuation up there in the OP, but what you're saying is that +str rings aren't giving you a +str boost? And that Ferocity and raging strike have done nothing to your damage. Correct on both?

[Firon]

No STR is not giving any bonus to stats like MND does. For example equipping MND gear will increase Healing power and Magic ACC. STR does not modify any of those stats like the other stats does.

So when you have no STR gear is your damage less then when you have STR gear on? Or you just saying, when you put STR gear on the stats in your stats menu (e.g., attack) don't change?

Maybe Strength doesn't do the same thing in this game as FFXI. Maybe thats driven by Damage and Attack Power + or something. Strength could possibly have something to do with criticals instead or something entirely different.

Yeah no value's change in the menu but if it does not change in the menu what does it modify? All the other stats are basically explained thru the menu except str so i would just like to know what it does.

There's an undisplayed stat for damage.

If you equip different weapons and neither have +attack, you will not see any screen updates.

Strength may be impacting the unseen damage stat instead of attack power.
