People hit 2x as hard because dmg is calculated by some formula ( dont ask im fuckawful at math) including wpn dmg wpn skill and attk, When a melee gets a str buff attk goes up max hit goes up BUT you can still land a min hit of 1. Hence no bonus.
When I say "damage bonus", I mean the extra damage added to a weapon's max damage beyond just twice the weapon damage, based on things like STR and level. The fact that this extra damage is added to any weapon, regardless of delay, means that given a low-delay weapon with some ratio and a higher-delay weapon with an equal or somewhat better ratio, you want the low-delay weapon. The fact that max damage is more than twice weapon damage indicates that this damage bonus IS in fact in-game, and telling people to just use the best ratio weapon is misguided.
