Right now I am at 59 so I realize I have 11 levels until the level requirement is met, however, there is no way that the 117 str is going to be met.

I am curious, because I have found other forums that say Yes the helm is totally worth it. However, I am wondering how I should stat myself so that I can wear it sooner, without taking a huge fall in dex (pure build 1str 4dex)

Have 63 base strength. I'd like to wear the helm at around 80. However, if that would completely ruin my person, then I could wait. Want to know what you guys think and then how I should go about getting the str.

    You're not gonna work around the strength requirement without gimping yourself in some manner until you're on the high 90s.

    Personally I started using Warsoul of Earth on 97, which was the first point when I could use it without restatting. However, due to an unlucky roll on my TT99 belt, I'll have to restat due to having 1 str too little once I switch one of my Bands from Heaven's Jail for a Rank 8 ring.

    I just think that there are better choices than to stat the massive strength. For one, you really do not need the amount of life that comes from the helm. For two, the restat scroll is gonna be a pain, especially with the current gold prices being rather high. You could pretty much use Helmet of Lion Spirit and then Helm of Aqua Viciousness and switch to Warsoul of Earth whenever you can wear it without missing str.

    Personally, I'll have 98 base str as my endgame build once I'm done restatting.

    I started wearing mine last level (92). Pure dex, 8 str from General's Bracers, 6 from Lunar cape, 4 from Underestimated Resolve tome, and 4 from Belt of the Earth.

    1 str 4 dex each level. That's what recommended. 84 str 321 dex.

    i decided to get the strength for the helm now, it fits into my playing style for the most part to have a bit more survivability then damage, but it depends how you want to play things

    The 1 str 4 dex each lvl is more a guidline then a rule imo.

    For me recommanded build is to have str with ornament add to wear your armor and rest into dex. If you want to use warsoul of earth, that is going to be higher then 1 str per lvl. But if you use some other helmet (or hat) it will be les. I got about 80~85 base str only. If I take off belt, most of my armor goes red and my hp drop to like 40% of normal b:laugh

    For when to use the warsoul of earth, it really depends on the person and the helmet. I think aiming to use it in 80~85 range is doable without gimping damage to much. However, if you got some highly refined warsoul helmet with vit stones ofc get it equiped at 70. Likewise, if str is to low to wear it at +/- 85, restatting for a +1 warsoul with flawless won't be worth the trouble.

    b:laugh I have 96 vit, 300 dex, and 94 str, after gear adds, at level 84. Buffed, I have 5.5k HP. When I'm 101, in probably 2-3 months, I'll stat vit into dex, but not until I have refined R8/TT99/Nirvana gear for the HP, and shards in the sockets as well. For now... I can run in and rib strike on Pole/Nob, and not get oneshot by their close range AOE, like some Sins with 3k HP, and if I'm stupid and pull aggro on one at the very last second before it dies, I can actually survive tanking it for ~10 seconds with a crab meat.

    85 Psy/80 Mystic
    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.
