Basic STR items:

Mithril Legs: 7STR
Mithril Vambraces: 7STR
Thick Banded Belt: 15STR
Hero Bracers: 10STR
Gloomwater Harpoon: 4STR

43STR right there, so I can see where the idea that capping strength is easy.

Those are also all very expensive items for the non-raiding player. A Barbarian will already be at or above max desirable unbuffed strength with those items.

Dex wouldn't be a great choice, as you typically *don't* want your weapons to proc. AGI is practically useless, so that leaves STA.

But if you are going Wood Elf or Gnome, STR wouldn't be a bad investment. However, if you chose those two races you aren't Min-Maxing, so who really cares, eh?

(Note I only picked high STR items from the top of my head, I'm sure there are better items out there for non-raiders).
