Amazing... What people are overlooking about the STR+4 is that it ALSO counteracts a mobs VIT. On anything with high VIT, these would be an exceptional TP piece. haste, attack +8, and STR to battle it out with targets VIT.
I was on Rdm when I got those. However, I didn't take the screenshot right after obtaining them, so I couldn't tell the exact time...
Thank you for the comments, very interesting to read!
Please tell me you aren't yet another couple of idiots who use Alky's on multi-hit WS's! Anything with 4 or more hits benefits a lot more from attack than from WS mods. The only time you really need the STR is if the mobs VIT is too high and it's resisting some of the melee damage. Even for most 3 hit ws's, 1 attack will add more damage than 1 STR (or whatever the ws's mod is). Perfect example is Dancing Edge. You'll gain 2-4 damage to the ws PER 1 attack you add. If you add 1 dex or chr, it won't even boost the damage at all. You need at least 4 points to make it budge at all, and then it's still less than 4 attack would raise it.
The reason people are saying fail is because they're a tp piece, not a ws piece. So since you're still going to be swapping in another piece of gear to WS in, this really only translates to +2-3 attack. Certainly not fail, but it's nothing ground breaking either. If there were Alkyoneus's bracelets with STR+4 however...
