I've always had the suspicion that Aran is more dependent on STR than w.att compared to other warriors.
There's no class that's "more dependent on STR", Xenon's the only one whose base stats are noticeably different. 133% str is going to be a 133% increase in damage for any warrior whose primary stat is str.
Aran does benefit a smaller amount from w.atk because it has (last I played which might be like 2012) +100 atk from skills, aside from Hayato the other warriors have only 30-60. I think Hayato has no straight +atk but about 50% atk.
I think my tradeables are only around 110% str and I have much less equal weapons (200 atk polearm with 21% total damage, 240 atk 2h sword with 40% boss, 290 atk katana with 7% atk) but I do have a similar set of characters.
200 Hayato - very obviously the weakest, and a few skills are broken
192 Dark Knight - probably strongest character I have, but slightly more bursty
181 Paladin - elemental charges don't work atm but it's quite strong
179 Aran - haven't played since it got Hypers, at which point it was fairly weak. Mainly because its hypers depend on an extremely long attack sequence (hit hit hit down hit hyper hyper hyper hyper), not good vs. tactical bosses.
175 Hero - was strong before RED, is supposed to be stronger now
161 Zero - I am ok with the class but not ok with the training maps.
135 Kaiser (nothing really against it but I tried killing Von Bon and it wasn't good so I quit. It's probably easier to train now that we have Evo world)
12x DA, DS - I didn't like DS, and DA's too different to compare
The main thing putting me off doing a comparison is (1) my Hero needs an SP reset, (2) link skills can only be moved once a day so it'd take a week.
