So, instead of people fighting about STR, why are they fighting about VIT?

So, yeah, Slaying is useless. STR isn't, though - you can meld STR materia onto Fending accessories as it's still stronger than Det/Crit/SkS.

And this is that part that seems weird to me... I could have sworn part of the reason they made this change was to discourage tanks wanting pentamelds, etc., and yet that's become no less the issue.
