Warrior Tanking Help

[Exstal]

Ah crap, this is what I thought we were supposed to do. So Vitality? A mix? Why the LoL

At this state of FFXIV, STR was used to increase the amount self-heals you do. However, due to content vastly outscaling the healing potential of your skills, STR is only used for content that you outgear. As a tank, you just stack all VIT. You can be STR if you love putting strain on your healers, and not using your self-heal anyway unless you have Infuriate up.

Although, with coming Warrior changes, it seems STR build isn't too far-fetched. Due to the switch of healing buff tied to Wrath stacks going to Defiance, you can freely spend your Wrath stacks without putting healers in a bad spot. Thus, doing more damage with STR is viable since you can spend Wrath stacks for more damage. Personally though, if I was a full time tank, there is no reason to stack STR. Aggro is only an issue if you have poor rotation, trigger happy DPS or both, whereas having more HP is only beneficial for doing what a tank is supposed to do, survive.
