Really think you should take the time to look at valid tests because the str vs vit debate hasn't been in favor of str outside of farming dungeons or spiritbonding since phase 3. The only benefit from str current for a PLD is to reach the next tier in block dmg anything above or below that is completely wasted since even with 30 in str you would see maybe a 1% dmg increase which is worthless compared to the HP gain. For a WAR str is a bigger debate since it does provide them with a little more dmg which does equate to more survivability for them. However even the few that are doing coil seem to be going VIT just due to the sheer dmg they take.

Not sure what content you have done but in Turn 5 that 450 HP can very easily save a wipe when a death sentence and auto attack hit you for 6k total. Without that 30 vit you wouldn't survive it

Actually, you would want to do this with crafted jewelry (ideally DPS jewelry 4-5 melded with VIT and Parry).

You can get 40 from accessories (and 40 STR) at the cost of ~25 VIT and some parry.

That plus 30 Dex from distributable points would be 70, plus an additional what, Plus whatever you get for being in a party? That could potentially put you up two teirs in terms of block and parry, which could be between 2-4% additional chance for both, which would be a significant reduction in damage (~2%).

Like how you said ~25 vit and some parry ... So basically you are stacking Dex to equal out to the parry you lost? Gain 2% block chance and sacrifice 2% block amount. Fail to see where you are gaining anything at all here. Seems to me like no matter how you spin that you are losing
