This is ffxiv dude. Tanks are just DPS classes with aggro draw modifiers slapped onto their abilities.

Nothing in this game is threatening enough to warrant caring about defensive stats. And the stuff that is can just be cheesed with things like holmgang/Hallowed Ground/Living dead.

Full strength. Keep your eye on those DPS parses.

This is ffxiv dude. Tanks are just DPS classes with aggro draw modifiers slapped onto their abilities. With the best defense armor in the game, best defense cool downs in the game, and best self-reliance hp regeneration in the game.

To the OP. If you've got a good group you hang with, where you can play your job to your fullest or are up for making accessory melds with both STR and VIT. Go STR with your stat points.

If you're lacking a good group and are PUGing everything. Stick with Vit. You don't know your healer and more often than not will probably get one that can't deal with it (even though in theory, they should be). You then can get both slaying and fending accessories and go full on either one or mix and match until you get accessory melds for both STR and VIT.
