    The difference in HP between five i210 fending and five i150 penta-melded is 100 VIT, which corresponds to 1450 HP. I have almost 19k in Defiance, without food/party bonus, and I'm not even full i200 left side yet.

    The gap is currently too small, relative to both tank HP and the amount of damage you can mitigate with cooldowns/stoneskin/adlo/etc, for them to make a tank buster that would require VIT accessories.

    The only way to really do it would be to make it hit for so much that it requires VIT accessories and every possible type of mitigation, but then you start running into issues of needing certain party compositions to ensure you have the necessary buffs/debuffs.

    Yeah, I get it, it was just an (semi-ironic, since we know SE) idea.
    As a healer I don't see much use in tanks with VIT either. Unless there is noticeable downtime after every major hit, then more HP only makes me waste more MP on topping it up, while more STR = stuff dies faster = less MP used.
