Strength on an Elf

[Matsu_Ieyasu]

Trying to figure out how high I can go reasonable with Strength on an Elf. As a casual player this is making my head hurt. Had a pugger tell me I need to be at 110 points, but cannot figure out how they came up with that number.

18 Base
07 Level Ups
04 Enhancements (Kensei / KOTC)
02 Enhancements (Wood Elf)
03 Enhancements (Reaper)
01 Racial Reincarnation (Half-Orc)
08 Tome
22 Item
10 Insightful Item
05 Quality Item
02 Exceptional Augment
02 Ship Buff
02 Profane Well Rounded
05 Primal Scream
01 Sentient
92

Others
02 Racial Completionist
02 Completionist
04 Tensors
06 Fury of the Wild
04 ED Twists
02 Yugo Pot
03 Store Pot/Gold Roll
02 Bard Song
23

Frankly, you're beyond "reasonable". Twisting 4 Str is going to be sub-optimal on pretty much any build. As an exercise in sub-optimality, check out the wiki's max Str and scale down accordingly as an elf.

Most builds are better off sacrificing a bit to their main stat for other goodies; eg, Sense Weakness in lieu of a stat twist. The exception might be a first-life thrower striving for 100 Dex or 100 Int for STWE / Ninja Spy Core #2 / Shuriken Expertise

Did he mention several past lives and/or tomes ?

I included tomes and past lives in my calculation. The pugger was not very clear on how they came upon that number, just insistent about it. I have been looking for a couple of days I am kind of clueless on how you would come up with that number. The only thing my guildies and I could think of was he was including the old Divine Might (formerly +1/2 Chr bonus to Strength). As the Strength page on the Wiki is out of date, and still includes old formula for divine might and my numbers are in line with the rest...

The top is basically what I have except the Insightful Item, which I am struggling to figure out how to slot and I discovered last night I only have a +6 tome on the character.

The bottom is things I could use I suppose, but I don't because they don't work into the build.
