    One of my offtanks in a DF of midas 2 (A6/M2) went this route and it wasn't a mistake because he had a proto midian ring plus rest 210 slaying, i dono if they knew there was a tankswap in M2 or not but the second he took the boss from me he dropped to the ground, i guess that 1% dps did him wonders. moral of the story, don't think for a second that STR is as valuable as VIT with it's same AP ratio, it's not, always the the parry and suck it up no content is worth wiping because someone decides they want to stick to the old ways.

    Uplander Doom is the tank buster which forces a swap.

    Uplander Doom is M3.

    M2 has Brawler and Vortexer which both give out vulnerability stacks. Brawler is likely what killed the Str Tank BattleGrace was with. Single Buster hits for about 14k and its auto-attacks do 2k more than enough to kill an i210 Str tank.

    Except that you don't need a swap if both healers are any decent and the tank isn't a scumbag for not using CDs for it.

    I actually use Cover on that if I'm OT to absord half the stacks. I switch on Shield Oath and activate Cover after the 3rd stack. Works like a charm. Then I switch back to Sword Oath and keep OTing.

    Hallowed Ground also literally negates one Uplander Doom.

    Of course, none of that probably works in Savage, but it works great with PUGs on Normal.
