To be fair, Strength builds needed a bit of love. Most of the weapons were average at best in terms of speed, and the new poise system would've completly destroyed Strength builds. Now they're more adaptable.

The issue with Dexterity is that it's hard to justify that a club is affected more by skill than raw strength, while a rapier being more based on raw power makes, a little bit, more sense.
