You mentioned 1k extra damage being added to your basic attacks from deeds of valor. Yes, that means you claimed you have 2,000 STR.
This is not true. Hexen dropper and Dust devil do not use secondary physical attack at all. At all.
Only pistol shot does.
This is level 1 pistol shot with 0 enhance and level 1 hexen dropper with 0 enhance.
Enjoy your deeds of valor 
It all comes down to min and max atk. The attacks will never be the same but through my tests the numbers varied all within about 10% of each other but averaging them all out the % increase was within margin of error of 50%
Maybe I’m wrong, but even with ‘just’ 700 P.atck, DoV lvl 10 will give you 700 more, mean already +1400 on a skill with lvl100 attribute.
So we should not under estimate it.
In fact people forget some parameters, leading them to wrong conclusion.
It’s pretty obvious low P.atck (not low str) char with one hit high damage skill will said “DoV is crap”, when high P.atck (not high str) char with multi hit midle damages skills or good damage factor skills will said “OMG DoV is so OP”

Just putting this out there, but DoV with high STR builds is going to get a lot better once we get the STR buff which adds 30% more atk from STR.
