Strength Tanks and You.

[Catwho]

I think it really is tanks not knowing how to play their jobs and still joining on the all STR bandwagon, which just makes it more apparent.

I was healing Neverreap on SCH and a DRK pulled the entire first island. Cool right? Cool. Normally SCH and DRK are best friends, especially at lower levels where they are the two most OP jobs in the game.

This tank didn't pop a single cooldown. I'm not as familiar with DRK icons but as a healer I'm used to staring at a tank's status bar, and if more little icons aren't appearing next to your name after you just pulled six mobs, we have a problem. My Eye for an Eye isn't enough to save you and I only get three Lustrates for most pulls... Emergency Tactics is once a minute and takes a tick longer to cast, to boot.

It's more obvious with all the new DRKs running around, but freshly minted WARs are starting to pop up as a problem too.

This right here. Doesn't matter if a tank rolls in vitality, strength or piety for that matter. If the tank plays like shit nothing short of invincibility will save 'em. Even with invincibility it probably just spills over unto the rest of the party.
