Scaling is fine and well balanced imo. Dex characters are pain to kill in PvP, they move and attack way too fast. Washing Pole coupled with buffing spell do a very respectable amount of damage in a wide range too. The last thing they need is even more damage, especially with the poise being completely useless against them, they surely has the leverage against strength build.
Personally, I have a grudge against Dex characters. I have below-average internet connecting, I suffer from about 0.5 second delay. When I fight them I get hit even if I'm out of range, I get back stabbed way to easy ( not as easy as in the first game of course ) All I can say is... Thank god for Gower's Ring of Protection, hah. Just give my effective poise back and I'll show them xD
