Str you can get from other places and don't need to be use for rings my mnk right now has both str and int over 300 No darklight yet.

With acc rings + 2 Tier 4(30 and 27)+4 on hands = 61attack+36acc

Darklight hands + str rings give you 30atk 35acc and 36str

So you have 1acc and 31atk vs 36 str

With Darklight boots + body you will have another 28acc. so can take off an acc ring for a str ring/atk ring

STR and ATK go at a 2:3 ratio without any consideration for class bonus. So 2 STR gives the equivalent increase to damage as 3 Attack Power. If the class in question also has STR as a bonus attribute then it gives even more of an increase to damage until you hit the STR cap. However the 2:3 holds true even after the STR cap. Such has been tested by Seiken extensively and confirmed by other sources.

Therefore 36 STR is equivalent to 54 Attack Power. This is only if you already hit the STR cap on PGL/MNK, the value of which is yet unknown. If you haven't hit it, then STR gives an even greater increase to damage done as the 2:3 effect is compounded with the class attribute bonus.

So yes, I'll gladly take 36 STR (54 attack) over 30 attack + 1 acc.

As for boots, that's another story. I'm comparing 2 pieces exclusively, and only including rings since you did. Gaining multiple pieces of the darklight set can change everything.
