not if you calculate both seperately and then average the result. EDIT: and weight the result
if I wanted to get more exact, I could then weight the calculations in the average, so weapons that have a low dex and high str requirement (like a big maul or something), might also not really benefit from dex much at all, so it could be weighted less. this would of course require assigning all weapons these weights, but in reality I don't think it is that hard since almost every weapon (except very unusual ones) can be classed into a handful of categories in which weightings are shared.
