What people are forgetting here is the ACC on the VA chest. The WAR esoteric chest has SS / Parry.

As long as you can drop ACC for Crit and Det on your other gear to take advantage of the ACC on the VA chest, the comparison is much closer. Overall, you will have less stats on your gear but Parry is completely worthless and SS is the least desirable DPS stat.

So, the Crit on the VA chest is ~9.5 stat weight worth of STR (which more than makes up for the gap between i200 and i210 STR) and you have the ACC which converts to Crit and Det on your other gear vs. the SS on the esoteric chest. It's a very, very minor difference but the VA chest is potentially better for pure DPS.
