Tanks, please use strength gear.. :(

Anyway, this is somewhat related, but what's the minimum amount of tank gear you need to survive a dungeon run? Obviously, replacing 5 VIT accessories with STR seems to be the rule of thumb for most from the STR camp.

Is it possible to replace any of the i200 or i210 gear with i180 crafted gear melded with str materia? For example, the belt, feet, hands, and helmet (in that order). Body and leg is probably too much, but maybe some players have tried it anyway. At what point did you find STR gear unsustainable?

On that note, I'd really like to know the baseline for a pure STR tank speed run compared to a pure VIT speed run, and maybe somewhere in between. At what point does the trade-off between VIT and STR make the run slower or faster? Has anyone noticed how much time it takes to complete a run with specific STR and VIT gear?

Negligible time difference at best, especially with a PUG DF run, too many variables. Now with a dedicated team of players who play together all the time, pure speculation here but maybe a few minutes at best.
