Well obviously with T5 nerf/buff, spike damage is no longer an issue and its not progression.

In t6 a warrior having 8800 hp seems literally a waste, and no different from a warrior with 8200 hp. (except he would be doing less damage)

I havn't looked at t7. *edit i have looked at t7

t7 there are points where you turn defiance off as Warrior OT, and killing adds is a priority you are not taking huge bursts.

I think to sum it all up, pre 2.1 yes you needed as much VIT as you could get to survive death sentance. This is now irrelevant
Turn 6 - 7 this is not the case, or clearly does not look like it to me. Even MT wasn't taking THAT much damage in turn 7.
I am watching a warrior with close to 9k hp, its unnecessary, what is necessary is damage and lots of it.

The game has at least for these 2 turns, changed a bit. And maybe we should change our thinking.

Anyways love the thread, thanks for all the posts and contributions, I am out.

You're right about how much (little) VIT an OT Warrior would actually need. However, the reason I don't respec 30 Strength is because 3/5 of my Accessories are still i90 and can be swapped out for i70 crafted accessories. (-15 Vitality, +27 Strength, + A ton of secondary stats). If I wanted to take it a step further, I'd swap out Ribbon of Fending too. (-23 Vitality, +36 Strength, + A ton of secondary stats).

As you can see, I'm trading VIT for STR at a much better than 1:1 ratio, plus I'm gaining a ton of secondaries. Much more profitable than swapping 30 VIT for 30 STR.

I wouldn't respec +30 Strength AND wear i70 accessories. That's suicide.

why not ;D.
That sound fun !!!, it like playing Dark Knight on TaruTaru in XI LOL. but ya unless you want to keep farming the item to reset stat. Just swap out ring/neck.. is enough to push your DPS
