First off. They do not balance the game based on the top ten....
Secondly, All these numbers are skewed byt he fact that because of the dps go go go mentality, tanks are still considering 270 accesories with str the BiS for now and the entirety of stormblood.

Before any major balance changes, I see SE slapping tanks on the head and taking all str accessories away. As a Main healer, second tank, I am not looking forward to 2 years of tanks in 270 str accesories telling me to adjust to their missing 15k health.

that's great and all, but guess what? this is a dps focused game and SE hasn't "balanced" tanks in the past 2 years. the best you'll see SE do is put vit on the table again if they even will since you'd have people bitch tanks wouldn't lose dps because of death and as long as tanks hp are enough to live thru TBs there is no reason to stack more hp. welcome to gordias round 2. so Clearly SE didn't learn from that. and guess what if you force tanks into vit the number differences will still be in the same range because the kit's won't change, just the numbers they put out. they can't "fix" tanks when pld has two burst windows and no drawbacks when you compare them to the other two tanks.

those top numbers do count, because that's people in guess what? BiS. they have enough HP to live thru TBs, so they are doing their primary job, and the lesser AP hurts aggro gen too, so STR is still a better option then vit in terms of tanking because 300 AP will make a difference in holding hate.

There is patch 4.01 coming tomorrow so i wouldn't be surprised if this gets addressed.
