My complaint is not that they require strength, but that the requirements scale up a little too quickly, AND you have no choice except to put your first point into STR. I can't even start "building a character the way I want" and increasing my Knight's speed, because without getting STR up to 9 with my very first point, my knight's damage output drops into very poor range before I hit level 4 and can get another point into STR.
I did not know that the requirements had changed to scale up that rapidly. This build was viable last patch. You can easily reach level 2 well before finding an Item Level 3 2H sword. The starting "Source Hunter's" 2H sword does not even list the required STR, so I didn't even have a "Requires STR 8" as a guide.
I wasn't even specifically going for a 2H sword guy, I merely picked a Knight to try out how "Cure Wounds" had improved (answer: it is very good now), and didn't bother switching his spec to 1H weapons.
I can't even try and compensate by switching to a 2H Crushing damage weapon BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANY IN THE GAME! Hello, Larian?
