The point of strength?

[Crono]

I never understood the logic of giving so much strength to dex-based weapon classes. I remember asking Yen why my Assassin had such a high amount of strength and he said it's supposed to slightly increase your attack (naturally no where near as high as dex, which makes sense) but I don't know if that was ever implemented.

So my question arises, why do I have 218 strength on a pure Assassin build? It's my second highest stat, and now that stamina is nerfed (I went from 200+ to 154) it's just kind of silly. Is it possible to tackle this on the current Zodiac? If not, are there any plans for strength to do more than just increase attack for strength based weapons on Zodiac v2?

Don't mean to whine but every other class benefits from dexterity in one way or another, yet only strength based weapons benefit from strength?
