Strength bugging

Hi all,

most of you know the concept of strength bugging. It is when you wear an item for which you don't have the required strength points, but the item itself provides enough strength to wear it. You need to get some extra bonus strength (e.g. other items with huge bonus str or charms) to get going, put on the item, remove the bonus strength and then you can wear the item.

In D2R strength bugging no longer exists.

But I was wondering is 2nd degree strength bugging is around.
Imagine the following: your char has 100 strength. You have a

Bone Visage (req: 106 str) and an

Archon Plate (req: 103 str). Each of them is socketed with a

Fal rune giving 10 strength.
Now you can't put them on directly but let's say you add a large charm with +5 strength. Then you can put on the

Archon Plate and then the

Bone Visage.
Can the items "strength bug" each other when you remove the charm since they are not technically dependent on themselves?

I don't have these kinds or itemy lying around to test and don't know my way around the hero editor.

no one?

I try something like that on maxroll but do not work...

90 str
equip

Twitchthroe (10 str | req 27)
equip

War Traveler (10 str | req 95)
equip

Immortal King's Forge (20 str | req 110)
equip

Immortal King's Detail (25 str | req 110)

new str: 155
45 more than the minimum for equip the items.

But if I remove

Twitchthroe, all other equipment becomes red...
If I remove

War Traveler, gloves and belt become red..

I was thinking in try this trick to use a

Buriza-Do Kyanon (req 110) with only str 90, but as maxroll said it would not work, and I will respec at L75 anyway, I ended up increasing my str to 110...

I think I tried this method. You will wear the items when having the 5+ strength charm in your inventory. But as soon as you remove that charm, you will still wear the items on ur character. Though the items get red and your character seems like he is wearing nothing
Hope that helps, cheers!

This... It's basically the same as when you have broken equipment, however IIRC broken equipment can provide some benefits like extra

Belt slots...
There was a STR bug back in the good ol' days but that got fixed AFAIK

And for the original question, no... I don't think that's possible. I had stuff before that was adding STR and they didn't 'bug each other out' as in provide STR boost -- they were just both red as Fred and Nicconille said.
