actually your last comment just defeated your entire point mista thread maker. the str type tanks usually only show up during the end game content or the person who is using the class or job is using an alt or starting over or their 2nd class. the AVERAGE NEW PLAYER WILL FOCUS ON VITALITY instinctively going with the logic of more hp will give more survivabilty WHICH in low lvl dungeons 20.5 hp per vit stat you have can mean life or death for a tank. even in lvl 60 dungeonsi've been dropped to 200 hp in lvl 60 dungeons where if i didnt focus on my vit i'd be dead. so rather than compaing about how your str jockey tanks got castrated look at the positive side the NEWBS that YOU are just SOOOOO concerned about can focus on vit and still have the same AP as a STR jockey does. if you're not a newb and experience tank i demand absolute perfection from you as the tank plain and simple doesnt matter if its an off tank class you learned tanking so do it right
