For melee probably like 300 or 350, I don't know for sure.

If you're patchoulliknowledge then you can pull it off with like 50 UA.

Damage output is sort of moot for the most part. Kill them in one shot when they're down to 200-250hp though or they'll go berserk and end you.
There is a big difference between fighting a bear with 50 and 81 you know...
Also I had luck on my side that fight.

Also keep in mind that there is a variance many people do not consider often when combating a bear is agility although for the most part, people generally have lower agility than a bear.

How much agility do bears have according to you?

300 for a newbie I guess. 150 is enough if you know how to fight. I'm not talking about veterans here with all their tricks. If you know how to use basic maneuvers and skills then 150 or less is enough. At 300 you can punch bears to death without gathering IPs before combat or even using moves to gain advantage.

@OP
Jest get into boat, find some bear and try your strength against it. If you can maintain your defense then try working on breaking bear's. If not, then just hop into boat and try later, when your skill is higher.

It doesnt take such big amount of ua if you can do some of the silly tricks like spam thunder from boat then opp knocks it defence down and sting

I don't really know if this works since I generally just used sling, less effort and quicker generally

and if I was just on land I was rarely alone so not sure about that either lol

Don't fight bears, it is stupid and will probably get you killed if you lag at the wrong moment.

It doesn't count if you call thunder from boat.

It actually does work.
And with an even ua - str / mm - per I do believe that unarmed is faster.

Ah using shallow water and twitching for hunting bears, you can kill them with like 20 uac.

Without sufficient strength though, you will trigger its enraged stage without triggering its panic state.

Since nobody made an effort to answer this, I'm going to say 200-300 based off boars having 100

Sorry about that, it was just such an obscene number that I would never have ventured to attempt with any hope of surviving.
