    VIT or STR Poetic Accessories?

    So i'm not sure what to get, STR or VIT? Got my Full I120 left side for Paladin.
    Not sure what to go as, i mainly go almost full STR (100/110) for pretty much most content, unless i go to coils or primals where my DMG has less of an impact and i rather have some more HP to make it easier for the healers.

    Opinions?

    you plan on doing final coil? if so, get VIT Poetic Accs. Other wise , it not really matter.
    3rd option would be craft Accs with VIT/STR Meld. <prolly the best option if you have enough money.

    I will stick with VIT Poetic for now as I doing MT on T13, prolly swap some our for STR piece later on. (I don't have money for Crafting Accs so ;S)

    The Tank accessories drop in T10 and T11 which gives anyone raiding easy access to them. (RNG though) The only turn that people use said VIT accessories is T13. Most raiders will have an i90 set.

    I got the Poetic i130 ring and I'm done with right side VIT. Going full STR accessories after I get Ironwork axe. STR accessories I'm 3rd in line for so it will be a while until I get i130 coil drops, so the i120 STR accessories will get very good use on 90% of the content out there.

    I would say get STR you can use them in most of the sames content where as the VIT is good for a single instance atm.

    The only VIT one worth buying is the ring.

    If you want to use STR on your Tank, you should either replace Bonus attributes or get crafted accessories. You should never outright replace VIT accessories with STR accessories unless you literally don't plan on Tanking anything or the fight is so trivial that HP is barely even necessary.

    This is because of ratios.

    -Replacing bonus attributes gains 1 STR for 1 VIT.
    -Using craftables gains 65 STR for 60 VIT(when compared to i130 VIT gear).
    -Replacing one VIT accessory for STR gives 23 STR for 27 VIT.

    The long story short is that if you want to find your balance of STR vs. VIT, it's a bad idea to lose more VIT than your gains in STR.

    I only bought the Vit ring. Figured FCoB will hold me over until the 110 accessories are out.

    Personally, I don't see why not have both to switch out. It isn't like the Unweathered Gloam trinkets are just pieces of crap now, and since VIT is so important in some aspect, spend your poetics on Ironworks VIT. You'll still get quite a bit of STR from Gloam accessories too, and they are really easy to come by now. Feel free to mix and match them too this way, and once you have your full VIT set of Ironworks, go for full set of STR, starting with the ring of course. I'm pushing 200 dps as a PLD with the Gloam trinkets too, so it's not like it's just chopped liver as soon as the new ilvl raises by 20. How many tanks were clearing FCoB with mostly ilvl 110 pieces first week?
