solution for VIT vs STR tank issue

Or, y'know, just put some strength on fending accessories.

Or give Tenacity a role in tank damage that is meaningful, it is our role specific stat after all. That way VIT scaling isn't an issue and our gear is already dripping with Tenacity.

I wouldn't be opposed to this. However, realize that secondary stats have always had a lower stat weight than main stats. So while it's possible, I don't see that as happening.

I understand that, and I agree about secondary stats. My problem is that it's escribed as a role specific stat and in ways is shown as equivalent to tanks as Piety to healers. Piety was always a primary stat.

It's just that they have stated clearly that VIT isn't going to be part of the damage calculation due to HP scaling issues or whatever, yet we need something to counterbalance STR in the base calculation. There are already Direct Hit, Critical Hit and Determination that impact our damage as secondaries. That's why I lean towards making use of Tenacity. That and the fact that they added it and specifically gave it influence over core elements of being a tank - and somehow screwed up the scaling so that the impact is actually near negligible. I don't think we should continue to see role stats as secondaries, but if they are role stats, then they should have significant impact.
