Warrior Tanks: Maximizing DPS Output

[Rexus]

What exactly are you tanking in full i90 DPS gear w/ 30 attribute STR? Please be specific, I've been debating whether I should go ahead and put 30 in STR and still be able to main tank everything without problem. Thanks!

All EX Primals except Ifrit because there's no point. Coil Turns 1-2. Turn 4 I've always ran as off tank, Dreadnoughts probably would require a slightly more tanky build though with the level of gear my group has now I could probably main tank in my i90 DPS gear because we only have 2 Dreads alive for like 5 seconds, if that. And I've also tanked Twintania with my DPS gear, just requires that you stagger cooldowns and ready Inner Beast for Death Sentence.

Even if you don't wear i90 DPS accessories and you wear full VIT gear, I still think speccing 30 STR is the best course of action. You'll do a little more damage, and it will increase the amount of damage you parry. 30VIT is only about 400-500HP (14.5 x 30), so realistically, end-game that isn't going to save you too much.
