I now have 2 versions of Wraithstep, one with +1 Demon and one with +1 Chaos. I could use either in my Abysslock Summoner but wanted to poll the experts opinions if the 163 strength requirement is really worth it. I'm currently running Waterwalk Scarabshell Boots which gives me 200 def, +65 to life and +5% to max fire resist.
If I don't go with Wraithstep, I'll just run Enigma in a Mage Plate instead of Archon and throw all the extra points into vitality but if I do, I'll run Enigma and/or CoH in Archon since the strength will already be there.
Thoughts? I'm lvl94 btw

Can be used to make Runewords:
I wouldn't use the Demon Boots but Boots with +1 Chaos means more damage. If you can afford losing the defensive stats from Waterwalk and the extra points into str (won't be many with Enigma), I would go for Warithstep, especially if you also use Gheed's Wager, which needs +151 str. Imo, this is the best Belt option for an Abyss Warlock, better than Arachnid Mesh.
Everyone uses Call To Arms + Spirit it is 156 str it is only + 7 str
I am online every day. I try to solve the offer as quickly as possible.

I'm still on the hunt for a Gheed's Wager and also a unique Grimoire that's better suited to my build rather than the Measured Wrath I currently have to go with my Obsession
Does you build rely on your demon for damage or is your demon functioning more as a tank/aura provider? How many pts do you have in Bind Demon/ Demonic Mastery/ Blood Oath?
If you heavily use your demon, you can actually use both Boots. Just start the game wearing your +demon Boots and then swap them out for +Chaos Boots--your "spawned" demon will benefit from the extra skill point and won't be affected by the loss of a skill point afterwards. A bit tedious, though. I consider it a type of pre-buffing.

You want 156 str for your off-set CtA Spirit Monarch anyways. Wraithstep is a measly 7 more than that.
And for an Abyss lock (=Void), it is actually 0 more than that since once you switch back from your CtA set to Void, you gain at minimum 8 from said Void, meaning you're covered there. You'd merely be BOing without Boots if you decide to save the 7 that way but other than for us more OCD folk, that doesn't make a difference.
If you instead drop your str to the bare minimum and don't even have a Spirit for CtAing then yes, you do gain some stat points to drop into vit for more life but not only do locks get tons of life either way and really aren't hard pressed for more but you're giving up (a) a skill point (=dmg and whatnot) (b) mana (BO at least 1 lvl lower) and (c) life (again, BO at least 1 lvl lower). (c) in particular offsets what you gain through a bit of extra vita at least to some extent so by comparison, you're not even gaining the full benefit of that extra vita, if any noteworthy benefit at all.
Simply put, Wraithstep = win.
And assuming by "abysslock summoner" you mean an Abyss lock that merely happens to also have a solid bound demon and whatnot, +Chaos it is.
If you mean a summoner that has some off-points in Abyss for some random reason then...why?
