    I must disagree. Having over 10k HP thanks to tank accessories means the difference of being S.O.L. when you get stunned + melee charges Raw Destruction to having a fighting chance to pop you emergency CD heal on yourself and snicker as they just wasted their LB. The vast majority of melee players in Seize assume their targets won't survive Raw Destruction at any HP% (which is understandable, most never bother to break 9.3-.5k HP), and will pop it the moment they stun you, even at full HP.

    Just assuming you will be focused at some point anyway is no reason to be a free kill from near-full HP from something as trivial as 1 stray melee DPS on you.

    I agree with Sanghelios. I don't do any Vit in Seal either.

    Healers only get focused if they stray from the group or stand too close to the front. The best source of defense is having people around you.

    Vit DPS are frowned upon because they do very poor damage, I feel the same way about vit healers. It pains me to see vit healers struggling to keep their parties alive because their HPS is so low that even spamming heals isn't enough to make up for the numbers they're missing.

    [EDIT] I once ran into a full Vit WHM who had 11-12k HP, but their Medica II was ticking for 100. They couldn't even keep a tank alive in a 2v1.

    As monk, having extra vit really helps. It depends on party setup really. Do we have 2 healers and t least 1 tank? Sure, skip vit. Only 1 healer and no tank. Equip 2 vit accessories. Having 2 vit accessories + fists of earth greatly increase survivability in seize and slaughter.

    I don't trust healers from other alliances to heal me. I consider it a bonus if they do.
