Question about damage Dex vs. (Str + Attack power)

[vana]

Keep in mind this is only for light shot and I have not tested WS's yet, but I would suspect (and hope) that the trend continues. I may try to do WS testing later.

Using light shot, shooting L1 marmots outside of Grid, and warped arrows with base stats of: 212 str, 229 dex, and 487 attack power. 50 shots for each setup were done because I'm lazy and the trending was pretty obvious pretty fast.

Base: 504.6 average, 541 high end, 463 low end
+20 str: 505.1 average, 541 high end, 463 low end
+20 dex: 516.48 average, 554 high end, 474 low end

the implication here is that dex increased your minimum damage, the interesting thing is it seems str effect was negligable, however the problem with testing on level 1s is it is possible that it is not including all factors.

but regardless your max dmg was virtually the same, but you min dmg was increase via dex. which lead to a slightly higher average.
