Goodbye strength tanks. Let us never be forgotten.

DEX what ? O_O

I heard about muscle BLMs, but DEX BLMs is a first

Haha, yes they exist! Never know when you're going to find one.

If yoshi said that, well, we can foresee a few points drops on tank logs across parsers, but nothing terrible, if anything, this game never does anything "extreme". Full Cleave was 10k yesterday, it will be maybe 9.5k tomorrow.

Yes.

Hum, yoshida said that a vit tank on 3.2 doing less damage than a 3.1 str tank, so you dont have finish yet with str tank hahahahahaha

Yes we are, because the STR tank after 3.2 mayaswell not even be using accessories at all.

As someone who used to spend 2+ Mil on melds every patch since BCoB, carried full VIT and STR sets on top of it: Good freaking riddance.

We, the few good tanks that actually knew when to roll any stat will continue to be awesome. The shepple that went Full VIT or full STR for every occasion will continue to be bad, but less of a buden. My SCH can't be any happier that I get to DPS again on dungeons.

<3 this. And all the salty people in this thread who go "BAI STR TANKS, HAHA" when what they're really saying is "Thank god we're getting rid of players who actually push themselves to tank well AND max their damage, bring on the bads who turtle!"

Look at it from the playerbase perspective: The large majority of their interaction with STR tanks where shepple that had no clue what they where doing, went STR, and did worse than a VIT specced tank would. A bad VIT tank might lose hate, but a bad STR tank was a true nightmare: It costed healer DPS and it died easier, and most of the time the damage added wouldn't offset the lost from healers.

On that note, Parry better not be on any accessories here on out.

b-but...I like my 774 parry...
That feeling when you Parry 4 Heavenly Heels in 1 Thordan run. #feelsgood
With that said though. If a group ever did have trouble with dps checks, I would go full slaying.

I refer you to my reply some moments before....

More than likely posted simultaneously ;D

Well I'm done Fakarhani at the lab for the day, so I'll be logging out soon. It's been great mourning this together, a big middle finger to all who came here to post "BYE STR TANKS hahahaha(derp)" because you're hosers, and I'll cross my fingers that the PVP burst potential doesn't become super weak and all I've personally received is a HP padded quilt to absorb my tears.

I think this sums up the feelings of the true heroes here:

I've never had any trouble keeping aggro, nor playing my tanks to the fullest extent in Str or Vit gear. So imma just keep tanking and say goodbye to 3.1.

[AskaRay]

Good thing I had all those extra Bolts so I could buy VIT accs.
I was sort of having fun with my STR tank. I'd only go with healers I knew, though.... my HP was less than my BRD's. It was "hilarious".

[FoxyAreku]

Everyone acting like good tanks won't still do great damage.

Slightly less than current str tanks, sure, but nothing to get upset over.

[Squrilruler]

Gonna have to do all the dungeons tonight as one last hoo-rah before retiring my str acc :[
