    It really depends, I never liked going full str, always went full vit, because you never know what you're going to get in each instance. You just might end up being the only person who can tank, but you won't know that until after the pull. Full vit is unneeded in a lot of circumstances, but gives wiggle room when you don't know what you're going in with.

    I now use only crafted and fully over melded 110 accessries, break the 9k suggested for fcob, and have plenty of str to go with it

    also, it kills me inside to see WAR going full vit. They have a boost to hp and healing received for a reason, so they can wear str without getting dangerously low in most content.

    What I said holds true for OT or MT, you just don't need to wear fending gear except in the hardest content or if you have bad left-side stuff.

    -_-

    Not sure if you read the entire post or not, but I clearly states it's not the required/recommended health, but what a random healer can handle. Not every healer is good enough to make it through coil, and even being 110+ won't stop them from being too bad to keep you alive. I had full vit in ifrit hm, no noon bonus, and (this particular run) I survived only because of hallowed ground. Unless you have a pre-made, I would suggest avoiding full str during an encounter as pld
