Does Dex affect a Warrior's Damage at all?

I'm not talking about before getting mastery, when Dex will actually raise the minimum damage. However, I was wondering whether Dex affected damage at ALL later on, at 2nd job, 3rd job, and 4th job levels. It seems like Strength is the only stat worth taking, and I'm currently in the process of deciding how to scroll items for a dexless hero - whether I should go for shoe jump scrolls or shoe dex on Red Snowshoes. I know that shoe dex provides better accuracy than shoe jump, but I would prefer to go for shoe jump if the Dex it gives also gives a small amount of damage (I've got enough accuracy from my 40 dex chainmail).

DEX raises both Minimum and Maximum damage. o-o

It does, but minimally

The amount of damage that dex raises is so little that it's basically unnoticeable.

It raises your minimum a tad bit, and probably every 10 or so dex = 1 damage point. Just get STR eq's, dex EQ's should only be used for accuracy issues and to equip a stonetooth. Nothing more.

DEX raises both your min and max damage, but STR only raises your max damage more than your min. So if you want more stabilized damage, you would make a normal dex warrior.

if u can afford it is a lot better to simply go dexless. accuracy is all thats worth for a dexless to hit,and STR and mastery will do most of the work on ur range. Either so,Heros and DrK dont have any problem with minimal damage since DrK get a huge mastery boost with beholder buff and heros divide their massive damage in 2 hits. Paladin will have the most problem with not having high minimal damage since both strongest charges(lit and holy)plus blast have such a high % multiplier on ele.weak that most of the time u can never tell if u will 1,2 or 3 hit a monster till u have a very high range that guarantees a certain killing speed on 1 target;but,since blast isnt used much during training except for killing those lonesome monsters that spawn far from mobs and cant be rushed,it isnt a majro deal.

well it does add a bit of dmg =P but as long as you're a sword user its fine to add dex because a decent NRW or stonetooth will pretty much put you on par with the dexless ones

It raises the damage a little bit. From Hidden Street: Max damage formula for warriors: One Handed Sword - [(STR * 4.0 + DEX) / 100] * Weapon Attack One Handed Axe - [(STR * 4.4 + DEX) / 100] * Weapon Attack One Handed Blunt Weapon - [(STR * 4.4 + DEX) / 100] * Weapon Attack Two Handed Sword - [(STR * 4.6 + DEX) / 100] * Weapon Attack Two Handed Axe - [(STR * 4.8 + DEX) / 100] * Weapon Attack Two Handed Blunt Weapon - [(STR * 4.8 + DEX) / 100] * Weapon Attack Spear - [(STR * 5.0 + DEX) / 100] * Weapon Attack Polearm - [(STR * 5.0 + DEX) / 100] * Weapon Attack Min damage formula: One Handed Sword - (STR * 0.9 * 4.0 * Skill Mastery + DEX) / 100 * Weapon Attack One Handed Axe - (STR * 0.9 * 3.2 * Skill Mastery + DEX) / 100 * Weapon Attack One Handed Blunt - (STR * 0.9 * 3.2 * Skill Mastery + DEX) / 100 * Weapon Attack Two Handed Sword - (STR * 0.9 * 4.6 * Skill Mastery + DEX) / 100 * Weapon Attack Two Handed Axe - (STR * 0.9 * 3.4 * Skill Mastery + DEX) / 100 * Weapon Attack Two Handed Blunt - (STR * 0.9 * 3.4 * Skill Mastery + DEX) / 100 * Weapon Attack Spear - (STR * 0.9 * 3.0 * Skill Mastery + DEX) / 100 * Weapon Attack Polearm - (STR * 0.9 * 3.0 * Skill Mastery + DEX) / 100 * Weapon Attack

So str is worth rougly 4 to 5 times as much as dex in terms of damage according to the formulas? (for 1H and 2H swords since I'm going to make a hero)

Yes it does. For me, 1 Dex adds like 1 to my max range, lol.
