I made a 1 handed video with the turtle:

At 231 STR, I did 39167 damage over 603 seconds = 64.9 DPS (no ripostes)
At 210 STR, I did 38969 damage over 595 seconds = 65.4 DPS (no ripostes)
DPS difference = -0.5 DPS
Funnily enough, I gained 0.5 DPS after removing 20 STR lol. It just goes to show that RNG can be fickle sometimes.
With my 2 handed video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py96jk2NflU
At 231 STR, I did 37,794 damage over 561 seconds = 67.3 DPS (no ripostes)
At 210 STR, I did 37,303 damage over 531 seconds = 70.25 DPS (no ripostes)
DPS difference = 2.95 DPS
I have a total of roughly 40 minutes of hitting the turtle, and so far my average DPS with +20 STR is basically 1.5 DPS, considering my 1H test provided a 0 DPS difference.
I am still not impressed with the +20 STR for your starting stats.
Nice Magelo! That is a very well geared SK. I always laugh at Hobarts, because one time Aftermath got 3 Hobarts from a single Vulak.
