so how do you guys think about the physical scaling ? in case you still do not know, strength scales almost twice as much as dex, here is a complete guide that pretty much spots on with my own tests. my guess is that this is done to balance scaling's DPS, since stregnth weapons are alot slower and consumes more stamina, a C scaling in strength gives about as much damage bonus as an A scaling in dex, and a S in dex is not even as good as a B in strength.
it doesn't necessarily make strength weapons better than dex weapons, moveset and stamina consumption are still more important than pure damage, especially in PVP when poise is still broken (seriously, how could a single R1 from a one handed dagger stun full havels O_O), but as far as quality weapons are concerned, there isn't much point left in the 27/40 (or it's equivalent) unless you want the option to use dex weapons, I tried quality builds twice and they both ended up became strength builds, a 50/20 is perfectly viable for most 'quality' weapons.
