I recently saw a post about a strength stacking Jugg using kinetic blast and scaling damage with Replica Alberon’s Warpath and Iron Will.

I thought, what a cool idea, but is there a way to do something similar with physical damage so we can use the Iron Grip keystone for even more strength scaling? (We also get to use some good notables near the Jugg start like born to fight that increase physical damage.) Then, I noticed KB of clustering gets flat physical damage from maximum mana, and Shaper’s Touch allows strength to scale mana. You get 160 flat physical damage per 1000 maximum mana with lvl 21 KB of Clustering, which is pretty good considering how fast wands attack and how much scaling we would have.

So, maybe I have a worthwhile idea here, but I’m not with my PC to try a POB. Is there any other way for strength to scale mana? And since shaper’s touch will also allow energy shield scaling with STR, is that worth pursuing? Has anyone seen this build done and have any advice?
