Please Restrict tank classes from wearing strength jewelry.

I don't think he's talking about AoE, Hyper. Tanks have never been able to compete with healer AoE damage.

AoE is the only place the arguement matters since that is where the majority of dungeon time comes from; also, it is the only place in a dungeon where health is a serious issue either way.

The thing is, the current state of the game is tanks tank healers heal and dps dps. the devs have made it clear that that is their intended goal for classes.. So my point being how can you be mad that a tank is not fulfilling their role because of trying to dps, when you ar not fulfilling yours because you want to be a dps?

If this is true, why then wear STR gear if your job is just to tank? I am sorry, but you sound like you don't have a very good argument right now. No tank actually dies to a dungeon boss unless the healer is inept, even in STR gear.

As for the second, any good healer can do both. If the tank is reasonable at their job the healer has significant time to DPS. The issue is when tanks are so weak the healer has to heal AND blow CD's 100% of the time to keep up it simply slows the game down and is worse for everyone.
