Hitting 156 Str RQ without Enigma?

[Kyokuji]

I managed to acquire a Spirit Monarch for myself, but it's pissing me off that I can't use it.
Any ideas? I could wear it if I give up my ammy slot but then I lose +3 elemental skills which defeats the purpose of me wearing the spirit in the first place.
Or am I just gonna have to load up on like a million str charms?

Jalals gives +20 str, as does IK gloves. IK belt even gives +25 str.

There are certainly others, but these spring to mind.

how about skillers with +str mods?

also, i know you don't want to give up that ammy slot, but how about a mara's instead? stats and resists, but only +2 all skills. though thats all skills and not just ele skills, so if you have say, a bear, it'd last a bit longer. :wink3:

another option could be to find a good rare druid pelt with + to skills you use and + to str, though that may be difficult to find.

dont forget crafted skill ammys that get the +str.
they're better then maras but harder to find and much more expensive.

Considering the guy said he "managed" to get a spirit monarch, I don't think the problem with using enigma is that the build doesn't use it. I've found that 6str/lifer grand charms go a long way towards survivability and meeting str reqs. My first ladder char was a windy that used a spirit monarch at 101 base str. I had a pamythest jalals and ik belt.
