A Little Confused About Dex per w.atk and how it differs from STR-less to low STR

For most people the dex to attack ratio seems to hover between 5 and 6. It's usually closer to 6 if you're less funded (dex cape, dex shoes, etc), and closer to 5 if you're more funded.

Man, my stuff must suck, my ratio is 5.97:1.
