Tanks, please use strength gear.. :(

Funny thing is, in a dungeon boss, a PLD going Sword Oath with full STR gear on, is going to fulfill his survival role almost as well as a Shield Oath PLD with full VIT on. Will the Sword PLD have much less eHP on paper? Yep. Will he ever actually need all of it? Nope, even if a healer is DPSing a lot. I dare say the PLD with Sword Oath is doing his job more effectively in terms of survival, because the fight is going to end that much quicker, requiring less MP and mechanics done that could endanger the party.

If I wanted to play that way I would have gone Warrior.

True, true, no tank can contribute meaningful DPS unless they're WAR. Also, every WHM/AST asked to DPS or perform better should have gone SCH.
