Gotcha, I think I misread the previous statement in that I thought he was suggesting that attack raises your damage done. This makes more sense.

OK, what the heck, I tested pure ATK buffs and their effect on melee dmg.
Scenario: 53 Ranger, 159 str, 225 offense (maxed), 215 weapon skill (maxed), 32/37 Massive velium brawl stick. 965 listed ATK on client.
1)No buffs whatsoever, 965 ATK, kill 3 hill giants. I pulled with flamestrikes so as not to confuse my logs with bowshots.
2)Add Strength of Nature (25 atk), wolf form (40 atk), new atk = 1038 displayed (8 more than expected...hrm). still 159 str. Kill 3 hill giants, notice it happened in substantially less hits, kill a 4th to get about same data points as set 1.
graph the data yourself... the mean dmg per hit is almost 10 points higher in set 2. The max dmg hit is 17 higher.
