What they mean by "change the damage calculations of tanks"?

Well if that is the case. Some DPS are doing 400 whilst others are doing 1400. We should close the gap and make them do closer to 800/900.

Do you see an issue with this yet? Balance should not be made out of laziness and bad players. That is poor in a design and development standpoint and all that does is make people quit/leave the game.

No, because the issue in this example isn't due to stats or gear.

The balance is players who can spend millions on melded gear to create an enormous disparity between players who can't.

In essence, what I was saying is, if they swap VIT and STR, a full fending gear WAR will have the same attack power as a full slaying gear WAR, but ALSO have the HP of a fending gear WAR.

I just think you were putting the cart before the horse, so to speak. If they swapped vit/str then the full str war is losing on damage and hp, assuming str would not have the same value as it currently does. I think that if attack power scaled off vitality, str wouldn't matter, it would be a dead stat like dex. Or have a minimal effect like determination.
