VIT will scale with attack power, STR will scale but not as much

Most responsible STR tanks still carried a full set of VIT right side to swap in for accuracy/hp checks. You had to for savage.

Most responsible STR tanks used pentamelds and swapped those for STR one by one.

So.. to someone who's been thinking about leveling up a tank, is this the official RIP of str tanks? I was reading about people having different gear sets a couple of weeks ago, so I'm just wondering if I should mentally throw out that information as going forward I'll 99.9% of the time only need to go full vit?

Sorta depends on the weighting (which we don't know yet), but there's a 9/10 chance that VIT > STR. If they make bosses actually hit harder then that will just seal the deal. But to be safe I'd just wait until 3.2 and keep an open mind.

Yes, and in fact this is what i did as well. I was trying to avoid being presumptuous by implying that every tank could afford pentamelds but clearly that was a wasted effort :|

Honestly what's most irresponsible is folks that ran around telling casuals to ignore tank gear.

Well I was mainly having a gripe with "you had to for savage", since anyone who was serious about Savage progression wasn't using VIT + STR. ;V

VIT + STR was perfectly viable, don't get me wrong, but just worse overall than pentamelds - and while they were costly it was something that a responsible tank did for the benefit of his/her group. But that's strictly for Savage, anything else and it's just w/e floats your boat.
