No healing jobs and not even wearing all his gear... you're the one that's making the dungeon longer by using a lvl 45 book, no belt, and just two accessories...

2 things:

1. Pretty sure he's trying to create a glamour here, not his actual gear.

2. If you have Arcanist @ 60, you have SCH @ 60. His main is likely SCH.

Only thing showing is the 'classes'. CNJ 20 - THM 26 - PUG 1 and Arcanist 60. period

He said he has multiple characters. Regardless, doesn't matter what his classes or experiences are. Telling others to play the way HE wants is ridiculous.

I am a STR tank. I have been hording STR accessories and pentamelds since 2.0 (ahh, the good ol' days of hypogriphskin accessoreies) when WAR literally NEEDED the STR to heal more with IB. But I always found a time where I would want some vitality. Exploring new content was always done in full pentamelds or VIT accessories.

With that said, if a dungeon run is slow or things aren't dying fast enough, it is the DPS' fault, not the tank. If an AoE pack is still alive after the tank's CDs are down? Look no further than your DPS. Not the healer, not the tank.

Thank you! =)

Using strength gear pretty much forces you to use your cooldowns more. Vitality gear makes you lazy so you actually don't use them until its too late, whereas as strength you have less of an HP pool so you get a better feeling when you need to use your defensive CDs.

Saying "pretty much forces" you to use your cooldown in STR just isn't a valid reason though. Even you yourself have said that VIT does nothing for you defensively. Lazy tanking happens in all specs. Sleepy tanking is another story xD

You should be using your cooldowns peroid. Healers don't have to heal you more (or for longer) and can spend that time DPSing or taking care of other members. Win win!

Plus, if your using your cooldown too late regardless of STR or VIT, kinda shows your still aren't using them correctly, or at all.. that has nothing to do with Stats...

That is player skill..isn't it?

You tend to learn quicker when your HP goes under more. Even though it doesn't really give you any defenses its a psychological thing. When your always over 50% you get lazier.

1- Each atack you Parry reduce dmg 20-25%
2- More VIT - Parry - Block the tank have more DPS i can Do as healer and surely my DPS will be more than a PLD/DRK with STR accesories - Also on warrior that 20% + healing helps HoTs a lot and let me... do more DPS.
3- If ur dungeons are taking forever u should check DPSs and urself before point the tank.

Give me my tanks full VIT/PARRY with high block rate shields and good CDs rotation, thank u

- Each parry lowers damage by 20%, no more no less.
- More VIT - Parry = less DPS, your lacking accuracy, critical, determination, strength.
- Health Bloat+Useless Stat
