Tanks using ilv270 STR acessories

[Bourne_Endeavor]

I healed susano ex for the first time last night where the WAR used the ilvl 270 str rings. He was a breeze to heal compare to the full vit PLD's in tank stance, makes me wonder why.

Probably because the people more likely to use STR accessories right now are raiders. It hasn't quite caught on to the general populous.

The i300 ex primal requirements (that a lot of PFs adopt or increase) already stops this from being a thing in anything but dungeons. By the time 4.2 rolls around the ex roulette requirements will be high enough that it can't be done there, either. And statics, well.. if static healers are willing to tolerate it, that's up to them.

When the new crafted accessories release in a few weeks, though, I think we'll see a lot of STR melds. And that will be a way to get STR without worrying about ilvl lockouts.

That is easily workaround by the tanks swapping to STR accessories after joining. Considering the apparent ease of the EX Primals, that will only be encouraged by more people.

It appears to me that Tank players are having a hard time adjusting to the changes in the game where they are no longer DPS roles with with more HP. I'm fine with this. the STR focus on the DPS of a tank has always annoyed me - I'd rather enjoy myself by mitigating as much damage as possible, Timing my self heals well, and positioning the boss in such a way as to save my group from harm.

The sooner other tanks can embrace the role of actual tanking, it'll go much better for ya.

You can already do this with STR accessories. That is precisely why tanks are starting to equip them. It makes no difference whether you have 60k HP or 40k. If the boss' attacks cannot kill you, it's entirely irrelevant.
