Tanks that think they are DPS, just stop...

[Nowakii]

Oh, I'm not saying we shouldn't play efficiently. Maximizing our DPS should definitely be a consideration as you gear, and if a tank can get away with using Slaying accessories, more power to them. I just resent the idea that I'm seeing, more and more, that using Vit accessories makes one a bad tank, when it really doesn't.

Im not complaining about anyone using Anything, im just saying using STR doesnt make a tank bad as the OP (and many other people) is stating, also i like to state that VIT is such a meaningless stat once you have enough, so the solution is not "use i270 for ever" but "SE please AT LEAST add str to Tanks accesories."

This is like "healer should/shouldnt dps" all over again, saying that "the more Vit the better cuz healers will be less stressed" (wich is not entirely true since 90% of the time im going to precast my heals/have an isnta heal ready on a tank buster), witht that same logic healers should not dps, because the most MP they have to spare the better, right? i mean its safer to sit at 20kMp than sitting on 8k because i can crazy heal if i feel like.

Nah, if I was only thinking about myself I'd go full slaying and yell "HEALERS ADJUST" into my microphone instead of being a team player and ensuring the content is cleared. Full STR is only for tanks that care less about surviving and more about their parses because "MUH DEEPS".

As long as they survive enough for me to cast my heals, i dont mind finishing a dungeon faster.

Once again, im not saying having VIT at all is bad, im saying over doing it is pointless (not bad)....
Having Enough VIT with more Dmg = Killing things faster AND surviving everything (including tank busters) while using mitigation skills.
Overdoing VIT= Surviving everything (including tank busters) while using mitigation skills.
