Help figuring out charms (str or life?)

Alright so I have a hybrid sin that I plan to remake. One goal in the remake is to squeeze more life for the build.

Problem.

This build requires a fair amount of strength and my gear is non-negotiable. That leaves charms... however I'm not sure if 6 strength from a Shadow GC (leaving 6 pts for vitality) will yield more life ultimately than a 40-45 life mod.

Anyone know which would be better numerically?

The life mod will yield more life then the stat one, without any doubt.

 

[mephiztophelez]

6 str GC = 6 stat points @ 3life/stat point = 18life.
45life = 15 stat points

got that?

 

[Silent Shaddow]

6 str GC = 6 stat points @ 3life/stat point = 18life.
45life = 15 stat points

got that?

Do both sources of life there benefit from BO?

yes both benefit from BO. Only Life per level and vita per level aren't affected by bo IIRC. EX. Shako/valor

+Vita on items don't benefit from BO either. Only base vita and straight +life modifiers will.

+vita on runewords are bo-able iirc (spirit); only when its on uniques is not (dungos).
