Well, its a old thread, look at the creation date of first post. Strength is used to avoid melee attacks now

As Carl mentioned its an old post. When this post was made Agility was used to evade everything and since the creator of the post quit playing he didnt edit it. Now strength is the way to go for melee fighters since now agility is to evade range attacks and strength to evade melee attacks. Its still a good guide to follow if you aim to be a melee user just change Agility for Strength.
