IK Barb Stre glitch

[AndrewTheGreat]

Hi, I'm making an IK barb, and I want to have him look like he has no weapon or armor on him. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Go as low strength as possible. Take the heaviest item in your planned gear, then subtract all the +strength from items and charms. Use this number as your base strength.

Thanks, one more question, if I go below both the IK Maul strength and the IK armor strength, will they appear as if they're not there?

[Evrae Altana]

If you successfully pull off the strength bug, other people will see you as if you were missing your weapon and armor. To yourself however, you appear perfectly normal.

The trick to str bugging is to get all the str you need from your charms. Any +str or +dex from gear that's greater than the +str or +dex from your charms will override the charms and your str bug will be wasted. Be careful not to rely on other gear for some of your str; you could end up with equipment on two bodies at once.

It's hard to completely str bug sets, especially IK, because of the huge str and dex bonuses they give. I think just the gaunts of IK give 20 to both, which you'll need to make up in charms (perfect torch or perfect anni or four 5 str large charms.)
