Gaining a little more strength rarely has a dramatic effect on your character's performance. Strength provides a slight increase to your accuracy and damage output and allows you to more easily wear armour, [[kite shield]]s, and [[tower shield]]s, but its overall impact is usually pretty negligible. A ring of strength might be a good find for early characters wearing heavy armour and/or a shield, particularly if they also intend to cast spells, but you'll probably want to replace this with something better eventually.

Decent. Strength provides a fair boost to your damage, and lets you wear armour easily. A ring of strength might be a good find for early characters wearing heavy armour. However, resistance-boosting rings may be more useful as you go through the game.
