Yeah, luckily str dekans and defenders have always been an OP class.
Anyway, my issue is not that you need a lot of dex - my issue is that regardless of how much dex you've got, you still hit miss quite a lot.

I have a base of 100dex and still put dex every level, I have dex accessories, dex from all stats, I put +12dex options in all available sockets and I throw a 10% accuracy onto my weapon and I still hit 4 times miss in a row. When you have a skill that splits your normal attack into an aoe and lasts only abt 4 seconds (which, mind you, isn't long considering the very slow attack speed and you lose half during cast time) and you miss nearly all of those hits.. well, that's frustrating.

I'm not even sure it will alleviate the issue by putting more dex. Hence, if I put any more dex, I could as well go full dex for the little difference in str it will make by then..
