Dex stats on Fists o.o?

Heya guys, I've searched for an answer, but couldn't find any so that's why I made this thread.

I've always wondered: what's the point of having dex stats on fists/claws? For example the TT80 Buddha Fists. What does the dex stat do for the dmg output when using said weapon?

My guess is, it doesn't do anything, since dex is influencing the ranged dmg output, evasion and crit rate..

Anyone has any input on this? Thank you :)
When I got the meaning of melee mixed up:
'Maj.. Melee ffs.. means I'm punching you in the face 1 foot away!'

    Same reason of having interval on axes, for lulz.

    Well, there's no use for STR on a bow (unless it's your endgame bow but you get the idea) either. I guess they just wanted to add something as an addon but didn't think what would be useful and what wouldn't. Just like with +acc on mag rings. It can be useful if you are a fox form veno but even then changing rings completely would be a better idea. Some people do claim that the reason +acc was added since magic was originally going to need accuracy.

    Too much non-relevant info I guess.

    And evasion on certain magic weapons. b:chuckle

    However, often dex adds push your dex up another 20 notch and can be looked at as being a "+1% crit +accuracy +evasion" bonus all in one.
