Full STR WAR is nothing to write off.

Tell me if you ever heard this ?

"Full STR only adds about 1% dps, It more beneficial to Go Full Vit".

Although I will agree VIT is always beneficial and is the better option for PLD. It's not quite the same case with WAR.

Since I became 50, I've always pumped VIT. About 2 weeks ago, I had one of my FC mates craft me Grypho Accessories and went Full STR Attributes on my WAR and Oh.My.God!..... The difference is significantly noticeable. And Ever since, I've wondered why I didnt make the change sooner.

Prior to the Change, my highest Buffed Inner Beast would crit around 800ish. Just yesterday, My Inner Beast Crit was almost 1300. I am no longer surprise when I crit 1000 Inner Beast. And what's scary is that I do this without 3 pieces of ilvl90 Armor and normal Bravura (no +1).

Theres always the arguement that HP is more important than Inner Beast Crits but STR impacts much more than Inner Beast.

Let's break it down.

Impacts of VIT on WAR: Boosted Flat HP (about 450), Boosted HP in Defiance, More HP with Thrill of Battle/Potions, Less likely to die From RNG in Coil.

Impacts of STR on WAR: More HP Recovered via Bloodbath, Significantly Higher Damage on Combo's & Inner Beast + Heals, More HP recovered via Second Wind, Storm's Eye Combo, Storm Path Combo, Vengeance, Internal Release, Berserk, Enmity, Damage mitigated via parry.

I know i mention enmity above, but since I went Full STR with Grypho's it's been a HUUUUUUGEE Buff to enmity. Party Member's enmity bars typically sit on empty now.

It's also worth noting that it easier to make up for lost VIT (Food+Party Buff) Than it is to make up for lost STR (No food buffs STR that I know of).

Bottom line, Although VIT is the safer choice. I highly reccomend that people try Full STR + Grypho on Warrior. With 2.1 around the corner, I think STR WAR's will be more common.

Poking my head in to say "I told ya so".

Queue the naysayer's brigade!

IB is being nerfed to 100% so going STR for the parry cap and then rest in VIT will most likely be the best route, also it's 540 HP in defiance.

The only thing I'll say to this, (Because I'm a full Strength warrior for the past 1.75 months..) is that Twintania's Death Sentence will 1-shot you before 2.1 =/
Otherwise, I find it better in every way. Except for that 1 fight.
But better!
Unless your dead... >.<

Can't do DPS when you're dead.

Yea with 2.1 we'll be mitigating 20%+ every 20secs so that wont be an issue. Even without Full ilvl90 and no +, I'm sitting at 7.3k. We should have more than enough to survive it come 2.1
