Oh right, there is a niche use I had forgotten about for +Str, since it hasn't really applied to me in most circumstances. If you're Str capped without shaman buffs, you can ask for Talisman in place of Focus and get Bedlam for max starting HP before hitting an AOE fight. That only works if you're either Str capped without Focus or have Avatar though, since it will block.
...I should remember to start asking for that buff stack on stuff where I request Avatar, actually...
