STR aa broken?

[Thumatos]

<p>OK 59 bruiser here trying ti figure out aa's.  Been reading forums and most seem to suggest str line ,at least to 4/4/8.  Trouble is. Parsing autoattack only against grey lvl 44-46 mobs . </p><p>Bare handed im hitting 90-96 dps.  </p><p>145-149 ( with a mob at 159 )  with pristine imbued ironwood fighting baton. </p><p>Seems to me str line is now just about worthless. Anyone tell me if this is working as intended or last patch messed it up? If not my int is also 4/4/8, sould i put rest into wis or agi.  int will give me aoe and some extra health,  Agi will give me reuse speed and defense. Agi im leaning towards but would like advise. </p>

<p>I don't think the line is broken but many many bruisers and monks will say that weapons are better and that the strgth line needs to be boycotted. It took me awhile to realize this but why use the strength line if you have some awesome weapons because once those weapons are equiped the abilities are no longer available other than the increased strgth and chi. I started using the strength line when I was at lvl 55 and the only difference that I could see was it made my bruiser tougher but not a dps machine. At 60 I reset them agil and intel I thought it was good. Then at 72 I revisited the strgth line and it again did provide a durability factor for the rok mobs but dps again wasn't this huge "OH MY" difference. Chi is the only thing good about the strgth line cause it can be used with weapons but the reuse timer on it is very long but the ability only lasts for 30 secs.</p><p>Do what you want but I would use Intel and wisdom or intel and agil. Either of those should be better.</p>
