I'm gonna go with that because I obviously haven't seen the sources your refering to. But I think It's got to be more complicated then just a straight up stat swap because that puts tanks in a very unique and possibly game-bending (short of saying game-breaking) situation.

Tanks will then become the only class to receive a DIRECT buff to their raw attack power from food items? It it's really like what you describe (and I'm not saying it's not, i'm just saying I still skeptical), an almond cream croissant would be the exact equivalent of a food that would grant 30 STR points? ...that seems unlikely doesn't it? While all other classes only benefit indirect effects (Spell Speed, Skill Speed, Crit, Det...) tanks would get a DIRECT buff? Now imagine warriors eating Steamed Staves... ? Wouldn't that bend the game even just a little?
