Uhm, no. Damage bonus does not depend on dex even when you have finesse (read feat description). It is an awesome feat though. Unless I play a guardian, I always add it.

Yeah, but like I was saying before Str and Dex is pretty even, because finesse adds the highest of EITHER Str or Dex. So its a trade-off between extra defense and extra damage.

I prefer to have a higher starting strength, because there are some pretty awesome Dex-boosting items like the Aratech Echo Belt. I think this is better than the GNS Strength Belt because that only boosts strength. With a high strength anyway and the Aratech Echo Belt you get a +4 to Dex and +10 to Stealth skill as well.

All personal preference though.

dex is not all that cool...

i seriously prefer using damage resisting or immune overlay and underlay to armor...it works better than high defense imho..

Well, with defense over 50, you are pretty much immune to all attacks, period. And it's not like there are many grenadiers or force users in the game.

Exactly, and I would rather use Dex items in combination with Force Enlightenment to get a defence of nearly 60 without having a high starting Dex or spending stat points in it. My base Dex throughout the entire game was 12, and I was killing Storm Beasts in a single swipe of my single saber without them being able to hit back.

This works fine, I suppose - my guardian had AC 20 or smthng - unimportant since with Str 36, it's one strike death for almost anything.
On the other hand, Sith Lords do need high dex since force armor(or whatever it's called) and enlightenment are not readily available (and armor is limited to light).
It's really just the choice whether you want to kill $hit fast or have $hit hard time killing you.

well as sith assasin you gain +6 to dex so might as well go dex right i mean thats an extra +3 to hit that i could have for free right

Yes, thats true, if you were a Dark Sentinel also. So for Dark-Side its possibly more attractive, but its even-stevens. Which is good I think, you can play different styles but its still pretty balanced (as far as how powerful your character is, the game isn't especially balanced!)
