Are there more tanks playing now?

[Reynhart]

Honestly i'm getting quite sick people saying STR tanks were toxic,bad etc etc.

Some of them were because they thought that you were automatically a bad tank for wearing Vit acc...and they were very vocal.

A lowering of the skill ceiling is an incredibly stupid move on SE's part.

Changing damage calculation is not lowering the skill ceiling, it's only shifting it. Tanks will still maximize their damage, but by how they play, not how many million gils the spent on pentamelded accessories. The issue was more a game design problem. If VIT is the main stat of tanks (As state the only accessorie we can need on), why isn't it our focus when gearing ?

And, judging by the few dungeons/raids I've done in 3.2, bosses hit much much harder so that safety net is welcomed for healers in training.
