Nope you're right. Dex does nothing for speed. All dex does is:

1) Affects dmg for bows
2) Affects dmg for thrown (not told but determined through experience)
3) Affects chance of crits/cripple
4) Increases chance of a weapon processing it's effect
5) Decreases song missed note rate
6) Helps casters recover from interruption

Thats it
