[Chaos]

The people that build Raijin, generally do so because they dislike STR, finding it to be quite unappealing in comparison to other stats. There has been a few threads about buffing STR, thankfully.

Except that after all those threads, we have yet to come to any solid conclusion towards helping STR. Honestly, if we want to see STR buffed, it'll likely have to be forced, rather than obtained through support.

Also, you can argue that basic attackers require too many stats and leave too little room for variance, especially under a system with 210 stat points + APT. That will not solve STR's dilemma, but a separate topic touching upon this is a good idea.

As for the OP, upping Raijin's STR scaling while throwing out its SKI scaling is a decent band-aid, but at that point, why not just do the same for every other melee/bow weapon (beyond daggers) that doesn't put STR first?
