STR tank items :C

so you're saying people could go into savage day 1 in str gear and not have to worry about not getting pounded into the floor by the 1st 3 attacks? I'm just playing devils advocate, clearing dungeons 3 or 4 minutes faster because your tank dps is good and all, but so is giving your healer some room to not have to chain cast to keep you alive when 6 mobs are smashing your face. I've used both types, and even mixed so I see the merits of both, but saying vit gear is useless in raids is a gross oversimplification.

Up till this point, raiders have typically invested in pentamelded jewelry for progression instead.

Wich they can still use, since STR AND VIT will affect our damage rating.

The way I see it, they'll change the ratio so that by going full STR or full VIT, you'll end up with the same damage output.
The STR build will have the drawback of giving less HP...like it does now, and no one cares...

And besides, current accesories will still allow you to trump anything besides Midas Savage...where it would be useless anyway, compared to lore gear or proto-Midas stuff.

They specifically said that if you are wearing STR gear you will do *less* damage.

Indeed.

But probably nowhere near the point where it's a really big deal, since you'll replace all gear for Midas Savage anyway.
