    Sipherous. You misunderstand.

    If this keeps as it is, you will eventually never be able to hold aggro even sitting in tank stance and spamming aggro combo.

    For every 10 str we gain on side, dps gain 35. Eventually you can't hold hate to begin with unless se wants to buff our aggro output every other patch.

    You are overlooking tenacity and how it factors in as well while solely focusing on str. Yes str gives the largest dps boost between the two stats individually. However, combined the two stats play off each other to grant "X" effect. There is way more that can be tweaked to maintain threat levels than them just adding str. Focusing solely on str makes it seem like you are just wanting str to boost your personal dps. Not saying this is indeed your meaning just the perception I'm getting. Granted I only dabble in tanking but from the outside looking in that is the intial impression
    I got.

    It's literally a DPS argument. Even if strength didn't get put on fending accessories, there'd be no issue holding threat at all in end-game content due to Shirk, absurd enmity modifiers, and all but Samurai and Monk having Threat drops.

    And when the next expansion comes out, they rework and rebalance again. Threat isn't the issue.

    I can't say this enough that Threat isn't the issue.

    But he is arguing that it will be, but it is coming off to me as but my deeps! Never mind he is ignoring that so far dps primary stat gains on accessories are by the same amounts. So we are all scaling together. So far. Granted I have not inspected every piece of gear 310 to 320 yet. But I'm working on my 320 set.
