From one tank to other tanks..STR Gear is not a thing anymore..Get used to it now!

If they lock us out of the 270 STR accessories I'll stop using them and won't complain about it.

Until then, I don't understand why we're gonna chastise people for running BiS gear, because that's what it is. It's indisputable that the HP and cool downs you have make it possible to survive anything the game is gonna throw at you.

It's not a "but muhdeeps" thing, it's just the way the game is designed. I think the way that tanks are built right now is an oversight. I don't think just locking tanks out of the STR gear is the "best" solution, and I don't understand the fundamental argument of why damage can't scale off VIT. But whatever changes they make I'll adjust accordingly and rock the new BiS, whatever that ends up being.

The problem is while you think it is BiS healers are seeing you health tank which causes us to have to stop our DPS (which from what i understand is better than yours) which then makes everything take longer killing the point of taking STR gear. As Annah was saying it IS noticeable when a tank is using STR acc and IT DOES slow things down. You can claim the you don't do it to have higher DSP but you should understand that if a healer has to focus all our effort to healing you the party DPS does drop.

Ok I could be wrong on healers doing more DPS. but my point still stands that the small amount of extra damage you do with STR acc isn't going to make up for the DPS lose from healers having to stop and heal you more often.

Once again, that just means you're bad at the game. Before you criticize STR Tanks why don't you work on your own fundamental flaws you just outed yourself for?

The difference between a tank using their melds wisely and stacking Tenacity -their tanking statistic, vs a tank who tries another method

It's not wise to do something that's just objectively inferior, it's just stupid.
