    In my defense, as a tank, I always mentally think I'm always the MT. That said, I have no STR builds.
    So, in that case, you are and will be ever a bad tank?
    Beeing a good Tank means to know the Dungeons, know the bosses, know the Tankbuster.
    As you can survive anything at the moment with 17-18k HP as Paladin, it doesn't make sense to put in more VIT. It is a dead Stat giving you nothing, where STR would give you more DPS, better Heals, better enmity.
    As for VIT, if you wipe with 17-18k HP as Paladin, you would wipe with 20k HP, too.

    I'd like to think we can have the STR vs VIT discussion without resorting to calling people bad. The game itself tells you to wear VIT, and last time I checked, we still can't Need roll on Slaying accessories. Not to mention the fact that as a healer, I've run across some hideously bad STR tanks and some really good VIT tanks, and vice versa. Player skill is completely independent of what accessories they choose to wear. I know I for one am looking forward to 3.2 and the possibility of a meta shift.
