I just got a parser and was curious to test out something simple. I tested how much difference the 199 Strength I can buff myself with as a 50 mystic helps my autoattack DPS. I used the same level and type of mob, ice frights in Everfrost 43 v solo mobs, green to maximize any effect it might have. My findings: Adding 199 Strength adds 5 (or less) DPS if all you do is autoattack. Of course, no one just autoattacks, and every time you cast a spell you are autoattacking less, so the DPS added in a real situation would be even less. So while our Strength buffs are great when we group with a fighter, in solo situations they make next to no difference. The stamina (and agility on avatar) make them still worth using, but the strength doesnt help much. I found it interesting anyway, I was kind of hoping adding 199 strength would bump up my DPS a little more but oh well. Thought you all might find it interesting.
