1st, sorry for any mistakes i may write, english is not my native language.

My question for the veterans out there is, Does any stat other than streght affect dps depending on the weapon used?

For example, a dagger is light, so maybe agility is more important than strenght? (at least it is what makes sense to me)
Or in gladius weapons, strenght and agility are equaly important? (for speed and streght in blows)...

And, I´m thinking about going with exotic weapons, what combat style (slash, etc) is better with those weapons? (since they are wildly different than other, and even between themselves)

Thanks for your time in advance.
