Just wondering but gonna finish lvling thf. What exactly makes you hit for more out of str att and dps or is it a combination of all of them
DPS is the potential damage over time.
Attack is calculated vs. the enemies defense (which is why you hit for 0s when crabs do defense boost, etc) In order to hit mobs for the fullest potential of the weapon, you have to have enough attack to overcome the defense of the enemy.
STR for every 2 STR = 1 Attack on 1 hand weapons. It is also used for pretty much every weapon skill as a modifier for the damage.
