How much strength do i need for full ik?

[Beary]

I'm just starting a barb again and heres a picture of its gear

Full ik (immortal kings)
x2 bk rings: 3%,4%
Maras: 23 res

For a barb like that how much strength would i need? .. I'm trying not to put points into it instead vita, but ik needs a lot of strength...wut should i do!?

(dont tell me not to use ik, cause thats all i have)

With bonuses from ik set you need 187 str, and with mara you will need 182 str.

I'd consider doing 187 though, just because you'll probably want to switch out Mara's for a better amulet later (highlord's, maybe).

not exactly about your topic, but I'd suggest using one raven - your gaming experience will be a lot nicer.
