With Focus…
This is 9 str from capping. You could swap out Coldain’s for Crystal Chitin Gaunts.
With a fungi instead it’s 29 from capping
Without the str of the elements it’s 44
Using BD bracers during HoT raids and such you need 58 to cap

I’d rather cap than ask for Maniacal Strength. Nobody asks a rogues about their hps, everyone wonders wtf is wrong when they look at the parse.

The Magelo you provided would cap at 255 (259 total) with Focus. Your Rogue is at 192 STR and Focus gives +67. As you say, you can just swap your gloves out for STR gloves if you are wearing a Fungi.

If you need a bit of extra strength due to not having Strength of the Elements, you can simply swap one of your rings for https://wiki.project1999.com/Gem_Encrusted_Ring . Rogues get an extra 100 HP from the 25 points into STA, so you can take off one ring and still have more HP than someone who dumped their starting stats into STR with 2x HP rings. Or get https://wiki.project1999.com/Coldain..._Insignia_Ring and have your cake and eat it too.

I don't see a problem with asking for Maniacal Strength if you need it. I've had plenty of people ask for it.

Your parse will also be bad if you die.
