It's a lot... and Vit on WAR is a very glorious amount of HP. + ToB is stronger the more HP you have, bigger self heals = Win.

Good riddance to bad mechanics, IMO.

The only people I kinda feel for here is DRKs who actually tried to get some mileage out of Living Dead. Without a WHM Benediction at the ready, I imagine there will be a lot more Living Dead attempts that end up with a dead DRK in 3.2 unless some adjustments are made.

Str tanks are getting a rip thread because it has been stated black n white. Using str gear will be a dps loss for tanks compared to vit gear. That is why there is a RIP thread. It has nothing to do with any dps loss as we don't know how high vit will scale for dps.

in that case would it not be too early to claim a R.I.P thread is needed? you yourself said we have no idea what the scaling is yet.

Personally I'm really looking forward to playing tank in full vit. Little dps loss for huge hp gain? I'l take it. Tanks gunna be tanks.

I'm glad to see strength tanking go to be honest.
Always hated zoning into an instance and seeing the tank barely have more hp than a dragoon.

My friends and I used full vitality on our tanks anyways so if anything we'll be seeing a dps increase from this.

Right, let's not forget about the Defence difference and stance + cd's. But I can see your point, those days will indeed be over.

Wait, are these the tanks that were forcing me to spam by biggest single tgt heal on trash (and popping CDs)?

If not, I don't get the change...

It's not been stated that their will be a dps loss. I actually don't believe their will be if it works like they've stated. Guess we'll see:)
