All you have to know is that STR and ATK do the same thing, but STR is more effective, point for point, than ATK.
Yeah, I know. I was just saying it in response to Tech's comment about a distinction between base and peak damage.

Honestly, I'd say the entire thing (and the Damage stat on weapons) needs to be tested to hell and back, though it might be wise to wait for the patch in case they change anything. I'd be perfectly willing to help out on these tests, too, if not for my unwillingness to go buy new gear to test with.
