But if you level up your 1hb or whatever main hand weapon you have, that ATK value rises).

STR influences ATK for melee weapons, just like DEX should influence it for archery weapons.
All I am hearing is coulda woulda and my dad works at nintendo i know things.

Logically, pulling back a bow requires strength and stamina for quick shots and to not be shaking holding back all that pressure.

In-gameally, there is just ATK. Even on live where you can see other peoples mana bars and dont have to use druids to travel there is no hidden mystical offhand or archery ATK. Just ATK. Skills increases ATK, Offense increases ATK and STR increases ATK. DEX increases your crit chances, and since Rangers can only crit with bows, logic would also dictate that a Crit = more bow damage.

The in-game description is not lying to you, but not really accurate.
