Tanks, please use strength gear.. :(

His "10%" number is coming from looking at flat damage amounts, probably, fyi. When I was messing around with VIT crap, I put 3 VIT accessories on and my RoH in Sword Oath dropped from ~1000 to ~900 damage. This adds up to a huge drop in dps in the long run, but it looks like it's "just 10%" by looking at that one number.

Agreeing that a strength paladin can add 200 dps and in the same breath saying that it's 10% is absolutely silly since 200 is 10% of 2000. Ain't no way your tank dps is 2000, bro. It's a 20% loss if you're doing 1000 with full strength and 200 is an accurate number (which, in my experience, it's actually an underestimation). I'll run actual full tests on it later today, running full STR v full VIT and see just how big of a difference we're looking at.

I'm guessing it'll be WAY more than 200, since comparing numbers I put up to other tanks sees me generally at 600-700 v their 300-400 in Alexander normal - them with VIT, me with STR. Some of that is skill and tank stances, sure, but a lot of that is due to their accessories.

Would love to see the actual numbers. Would you post them in here?

That's my plan. I'll be doing so once I have a free chance to later today. C:
