What happens when.....

[Xyphon]

@Karateorangutang - Unless the character screen is hiding information, your str is always identical to your attack power (which is why str is so important for tanks). Weapon damage doesn't even show up in the character screen, outside of looking at your gear.

Attack power says - Affects the amount of damage dealt by physical attacks. What's really odd is determination says the exact same thing except its both physical and magical + the amount of hp restored by healing. (I find it odd because for physical damage, det was only supposed to be physical auto attack damage). Tool tips ftw.

So what I'm saying is if there is some kind of effect, it does not show up in the character menu. I believe the only way people were able to confirm what effects flash was by the battle log aka parsing.
