I thought you were trying to objectively understand if attack power (ie strength) was worthwhile. Not explain how steamrolling green cons isn’t significantly faster with 20 more strength.

We are trying to determine if 20 STR is giving you a worthwhile DPS increase.

The issue is you are making the assumption that the data from the turtle cannot be used, while providing no evidence to support this claim.

You would need to show that the DPS difference between having 20 STR and not having 20 STR will result in a LARGER DPS difference on tougher mobs. Otherwise, having lower DPS simply means the DPS difference will also shrink, which supports my position.

I’m not a brilliant mind at this stuff but have Gameparse and a 10 key. I can draw conclusions. Troxx was correct, most small SK’s will be undercapped unless you stack Maniacal Strength before Focus. Likely if geared properly for tanking but without BiS gear 30-40 points. That’s basically CoTP…

You don't need 200+ STR while leveling to be successful. With EC gear you can get 170+ STR https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:TestIksarSK pretty easily on an Iksar, and I leveled my SK with that much STR for a long time.

Telling people who are twinking their characters that 20 STR will significantly help them is simply not true, and I have evidence to back it up so far https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...&postcount=211 . STR is generally the worst primary stat to dump your points into on a melee, due to how easy it is to cap it in various situations, long before full BiS gear.
