Just thought most people were looking for more or less an exact copy of the eqlive servers. Oh well, just pointing some stuff out in case this was so.
The ATK value you see in the eq client is a actually a combined value of the to hit rating and str related attack rating. Originally these were two separate values in the client, but as not to confuse user they combined it into one. It is not an acurate reflection, more of an simple overal rating to keep it understanble to a wide audience. Parsing of logs still shows that STR does not effect to hit ratio.
Strength doesnt do much on lower levels, except raise the limit of what you can carry. Its effect on higher levels is more noticable, but not that spectacular either. In most cases (on lower and even conning mobs) the net effect of a level 60 shaman str buff on a level 50 player is about 1 to 2% damage increase. On larger, higher level creatures the effect is more usefull, up to 5%, even up to 10% I have heard.
