Strength or physical damage for 2H

Hey everyone, new here...in love with this game already, looking to spend a lot of time on it.

Basically my question is when working with a 2H Marauder, is strength the better route or should i go more phys damage, or a mix of both doesnt hurt either?

Thanks for any input.

In passive skill tree you should follow health, while increase damage by equipments. Thats the most efficient way to make proper character. Especially for new player.

Well, what i mean though is like right off the bat the tree splits towards str or physical damage, i just want to know which is better for damage output in the long haul when im faced with the choices.

Do simple calculations:
10 STR = 2% melee physical damage

And compare with the other nodes
