Tank Gear's Value for the Future.

Ahhh the beauty of English. Lol. Generally you can refer to females as "girl" if you are also referring to males as "guy" or "boy," the only difference is that contextually, "girl" is also used as an insult to demean a female by implying immaturity more often than "boy" is used to demean males. I don't think that was the case in the post, but, text does not convey tone or intention.

Wouldn't the equivalent of "guy" be "gal" ? I know I've seen it float around a couple of times

Yep that can be used, it just generally isn't. The rule of thumb is to just use blanket formality for all involved parties, my point was mostly to let them know that "girl" can be used as an insult in some cases, hence the friction from the post in question.

More or less fun fact: main stat value value going down from the current value of 1 for STR means secondaries will be weighed higher after adjusting for the new base line of 1.

Just move on, folks.

Yep. People need to stop pulling out arbitrary formulas. Have you seen the formula for crit? Lol (Hint its not simple nor intuitive)

Except they
- Take less damage (Monster dies faster, so that reduces damage taken by default.)
- Hold hate better. (More damage, more hate.)

Yes, more damage = less damage taken = because monster dies faster.

Vitality
- Raises damage you take.
- Less Threat/Enmity.

source that post 3.2 Vit tank do less dmg than pre 3.2 Str tank?

All what we know is that a Str tank will do post 3.2 less dmg than pre 3.2.

Wouldn't it be common sense that a tank with more str than another would do more damage?

[HorseBoots]

Y'know. Normally in tank discussions I like to throw in my own 2 cents with a long-winded post about game design or something but this thread is such a train wreak that I don't think that there's anything left here that is worth salvaging.

pre 3.2, yes

[Andrea]

pre 3.2, yes

I should fully wake up before visiting forums. My mistake, sorry.

I'm hoping SE just put it at 50/50 for vit/str in terms of +dmg. That would mean that even if u put all your bonus attributes into vit, your going to get an equal damage gains as you would from STR and also extra HP. It would not make any sense to make it any lower than half and half because all our armor and weapons add both STR and VIT. If it were say 30% STR and 70% Vit than that would mean that all that extra +STR on our weapons and armor are hardly doing anything compared to adding more determination, crit, parry, skill speed, etc cause those stats are still receiving 100% benefit.
