Some of the less obvious ways are to adjust your gear a little so you don't need as much strength. Not sure that's an option with this build and your gear but if you can put some jewels with -10% to requirements into the gear that requires the most strength. If possible use crafted jewels that go with your setup. -10% to requirements is one of the natural affixes that can spawn on jewels, crafted or otherwise. You can also use mystic orbs with -4% to requirements, but that's something you can't reverse on your gear like the jewels which can just be removed later. And lastly have you farmed all 400 of your learning signets? If not, be sure to do that and add to strength. You can always respec later once you have all the charms that will take care of most strength requirements.

Already 140 and 400 sigs. I just don't know what gear would get me up to 5600 str in bear form given I'm short about 1500 str.

Just started and looking through all the guides.... one question the only way to reroll a Rare item is to use a shrine correct?

Yup, or you could charsi hammer quest it, but those are limited so wouldn't recommend that.

Definitely save Charsi quest for when you finally find that sacred item you've been searching for but it isn't rare-tier. Usually high-end class-specific items (i.e. Labrys, Naganita, Hand of God, etc.).

Does anyone have info on the max possible IAS for an A5 merc? High life on attack + high ias seems like the best way to keep him alive, I just don’t want to waste MO space on attack speed if there’s big diminishing returns after a certain point.

Speedcalc tool, in the Tools section, gives you all the breakpoints, including for mercs.
