My ranger put 20 points in STR (made sense in 2011); a half elf with 95 total. Now with decent gear I run around about 190 unbuffed. 200 with a Meljeldin and 205 with a Swiftwind. When I had worse gear and would run jewelry in ToV or just more MR gear I wouldn’t cap with Focus of Spirit (gives 67 STR).
I preferred to be able to self-buff to 255 in my leveling gear. Storm Strength gives you 35 so if that’s the goal, 220 unbuffed is perfect.
I’m more of the mindset that a dps should always try to have capped attack all the time even at an expense of a few hps. The opposite of a tank. Ideally more is always better but just my own approach if I’m picking a poison.
