Thissssssssssssssss doesn't actually seem like that bad of a suggestion.

It's put a bit more emphasis on STR than I'd like (considering basic attack builds already have to build a shitton of different stats).

I don't think Brute Force should be requiring 25-30 base strength however. As aptitude does not count and there are... a lot of characters that I have that will literally never reach 25-30 base in any given stat bar like.. Aptitude or Sanctity.

15-20 (which is more in line with the other stats) base would be fine. Anyways, I don't like the idea, wholly, because if you're doing basic attacks you're usually running..

SKI/LUC/GUI/VIT at a bare minimum for your stats with SKI/LUC > 40. Then, you're also running a defensive stat, CEL and/or DEF/RES, where CEL > 50+ (if not 60+, the other two can be at 30+ for the damn price of CEL being actually useful).

So you also buy APT at this point, because it saves you points (which reduces your base in everything). If you have a decent race, you'll likely want at least 20 in your SAN (especially if Kaelen)... So throwing in another stat (STR) will make a lot of builds very uh... squeezed in and lower other stats. Not saying that it's a bad thing, in general. However it's a bad thing for a build set that is already squeezing in a shitton of stats everywhere else compared to an auto-hit build. (Plz Dev Gods; glancing blows when)
