HO Merc Str Overcap Question

[Vladamir]

Working on my merc's SC template currently and i can squeeze in up to 10str overcap without severely gimping my other lines. Can anyone tell me if/how much difference there'll be if i leave it at this, or the benefits of having that extra 16str?. If its needed my merc is a HO Crusher .

Thanks In Advance

Depends on what you will be dropping to get the extra str cap... Crush merc doesn't have too much use for Dex for example, however I wouldn't skimp on the major resists too much, neither on con, hits, or weapon (DW and crush) skills. If you plan on using it mainly for RvR you could drop + dex and + parry entirely without gimping yourself too much
