Strength Tanks

Honestly. once again, STR or VIT do what ever you like.

But people defending VIT right now... you make me laugh. I'm fine with you going full VIT, honestly. if you can keep hate and do your thing, Thats great! But me and others, would like to get the most out of our classes, meaning We rather do more DMG than having a bit more HP which does nothing basicly. It doesn't reduce DMG. its just flat out more HP. Unless there is a big tank buster involved, VIT is not needed. is that bad? Maybe. thats why they're gonna change it probably.

But don't be bashing STR tanks cause you don't like the way people play. I like to get the most out of my class, be that when i'm tanking or healing or even on a DPS job.
And yes, ofcourse there are bad tanks. That has nothing to do with STR or VIT. have seen plenty of bad tanks in full VIT. that does not mean i'm gonna call every single tank with full vit a bad player.

No, thats the way they wanna play and if it works and they're not holding back their PT. thats perfectly fine. But in most content, the excessive amount of VIT is just not even remotely needed. and thats a fact.

At some point, though, people need to recognize the need to get back in their lane and let other jobs do THEIR own jobs. This goes for healers, as well, who seem to find ways to get caught out while in Cleric Stance.

Thats where the difference is between bad healer/tanks and good ones though.
And i've said it in a different thread before,

Healers -> First and last job is to keep everyone alive, what you do in between like dpsing is all bonus.
Tank -> Get hate and mitigate to the best of your ability and what ever you do in between of DPS is all pure bonus.

I mean, as a tank. When i have a healer that doesn't DPS so basicly just heals me every X seconds and then does nothing, i'm glad i sit in full STR and switch to DPS stance when ever i can.
As a healer, when i have a capable tank i can just DPS to get like 500-700DPS on average to speed things up quite a bit.

And the difference between a healer putting out 0 or 500+ is quite big. But once again... What ever they do in between as long as they keep everyone alive.
