3) STR bugging gear - We'd be seeing a lot lower health pools across the board on all classes.
I dont think this will be a problem for most people - If you were alone (pve) handling this "bug" with always re-equiping another piece of gear on death to equip your stuff back i'd understand it.
On public games you'd be way too vulnerable to use that strength-bug and thats where most vanilla d2 players are and would be at. You can always be lucky pk'd on public games, risks are just too high imo.
And thats duels excluded...and for the smart guys out there that think they'd just leave an open space in their inventory to pick it up, you're better off to equip charms anyway.

tl;dr if you dont play solo private games that full strength bug is completely uninteresting and no one would see these guys anway - means the overall health pools will stay the same for public games.
