Becoming A Bandit!

I'm not a bandit player, but I read a lot of Shadowers converting to STR at later levels. Why is that? I'm just curious.

I converted to STR 3 levels ago, personally I did it because gear later in the game stacks STR so much that the added attack/speed of STR weapons (not to mention the Khanjar/Dragon Khanjar shields that already have attack built in) more than make up for the few points I lost putting into STR, and it really is pretty low by the time you have a good pendant, zakum helm, etc.
