Strength never added to your attack on Live (fake attack). It would give the visual that strength would add to your attack rating on the display but it did not. This is why people always referred to attack as "Raw Attack" which was attack minus worn/buffed strength. I do not know if someone's base strength was factored into this however (Base strength could have added attack). Possibly that is what is giving you differing attack ratings for same level/same skills/same buffs. Could also be its capping your strength at 255 (say its actually 275 or something) and that extra 25 is adding on to your attack.

All of this should not matter however if it works as it did on live. Two level 60 Rogues with the same weapon skill/offense/buffs/base strength would have the exact same attack. The display however would show different values.

Unsure if this is how attack works here. If not it is something that would need to be looked at.
