Ugh, really? This is simple people: STR/Hybrid tanks increase the team's damage output. What happens when you increase the team's damage output? The mob/boss dies faster! What does this mean? It means that the tanks standing there getting their faces smashed in take less damage over the course of the fight! Or, to use the word all the Full-VIT folks keep say: "mitigating damage". Huh. Imagine that! The best way to mitigate damage the tanks are taking is to kill the mob faster to stop it from smashing in the faces of your tanks!

I'm waiting for someone to come in with a video to prove this, with numbers to boot. Do a fight in HW, either Rav/Bis or Alex, go in one time with Full VIT tanks, and report back how long the fight took, ad how much total damage the tanks too over the course of the fight. The redo the same fight, with the same jobs/people, but have a Hybrid MT, and full STR OT, and compare them.

Maybe that will enlighten some folks. Probably not though.

1k character limit needs to go, SE. Seriously.
