Str Bug Question

[SilentCop]

Hi, just finished my sorc up and str bugged her with the following setup: +20 torch, +17 anni, +20 coh, +20 tgods, +30 ss, +2 shako = 109 +str. So, that means I need 156-109=47 base str. After doing this, I ended up with a clean 156 total str with 47 base and all my gear was on fine. However, the problem is that everytime I leave and join a new game..my tgods and ss are red and I have to rebug them with my str ammy/ring. This can get quite bothersome as I have to do it EVERY new game. Does anyone know why this occurs? Ty.

from what i understand you have 47 base strength.
with your listed items, you would have 106 strength (assumming coh is less than 86 strength req.) you are still 4 away from equipping tgods.
lets say you have a 4 strength charm to equip tgods, you would then still be 26 strength short from ss. this is why they are 'red'.

yes but isn't that just the concept of "str bug"; you use the str added from the item. 106 total str without tgods and ss but when i add say str rings and ammy to get enough for tgods, then enough for ss and unquip the str rings/ammy I'd have a perfect 156 str. I don't understand why it keeps "resetting" at the start of a new game.

i understand what your saying but i have always thought that the game re-equip your gear everytime you enter a new game. I could be wrong, but that would be the only logical reason i can think of right now.

Anyone else experience a similar problem? Looking for a definitive answer.

If the game re-equip you when entering a new game, the problem might be:
Base str: 47
Torch: 20
Anni: 17
Shako:2
CoH:20
=106 str

Not str enough for equiping your Thundergods and then not str for your SS either --> re-equip manually

I don't see how that makes sense though; my intial sorc had 106 base str and i used a few str items to bug tgods/ss on her, giving her a perfect 156 str. When I had 106 base str, it never unequipped my ss/tgods, and I don't see how this is different than how I have 106 str from +items.
