WAR Correct Stat build.

STR vs. VIT ... it's an interesting concept (no, DEX is not a consideration). Honestly, I don't think you can have enough of either currently.

If you're going to be staying below Titan HM, sure go all STR. You just outgear it at that point, so STR is the one that's useful.

Titan HM: you're going to get hit pretty hard, need lots of VIT. Coil t1: if you have enough VIT you can last to higher stacks on boss -- allows your group to use easier method. Coil t2: well it's possible to just die there. Can do with lesser, but more breathing room with full VIT. Coil t4: Healers can't concentrate just on you. You really need to both plan your cooldowns right and also as much VIT as possible.

In the harder areas STR still has a use. Ever had a good BLM with foe requiem decide to go burn? More tank dmg = more agro = more DPS they can do.

Personally, I'm full VIT with mega potion of strength, internal release, berserk, and a few STR jewelries in bag for those times when I need more agro.

Definitely get as much ilvl 90 armor (upgrades both str/vit) and HQ crafted jewelry as you can. Crafted jewelry is like you're trading 5 VIT for 10 STR as compared to ilvl 90 jewelry. Pretty good trade.

Once you have your relic, it is all VIT all the time. Threat isn't generally an issue (though there's not much to be done about healers insisting on spamming "THIS. IS. MEDICCAAAAAAAA") at that point, but in Coil survivability is your job as a tank.

I have asked in the past.

To answer you, I'd honestly personally go full STR since all your acc will be VIT (if not for VIT, at least for parry which helps big time).
And no, I don't have any threat issues, except turn 2 and mostly because I miss some attacks and missing a botcher block with 2 x BLMs in your PT with full crafted gear melded x 5 & relic+1 is... ^^;;
Reason I stuck to full VIT is because I'm making it easier on healers... I did some math in my head, but I'd have higher EHP by having full STR than full VIT.

So pre-coil, full STR no argument there. VIT is a joke and that is without relic or relic+1.
In coil, it depends; if you have an understanding FC & healer go STR.
I barely able do WAR on coil as my FC keep nagging me to do pld which is not needed >_>

VIT if you need it, STR if you don't. Warrior is a tome farming class(for pubs, because a set group is still better with a PLD) until they buff it. Might as well kill stuff faster. If you want to do coil, level paladin. A paladin in darklight tanks coil better than a warrior in allagan.

This threat is so wrong in so many ways...... Fact for WARS is just to stick to STR until you hit that CAP.

For coils stack Vitality. Sitting at 7600 in coils as warrior (with food) and a string of unlucky crits can still burst me down in a few seconds.

Even at 8k those crit stings would still bring you down, which is what putting your 30 points in vit would do. I've done turns 1-4 with only 6.7k (7k w/ food) in all the cases I have died not even 9k health would have saved me, it's all on the healers as a WAR tank.

Well, it's not ALL on healers. I've seen Warriors go into panic mode and Inner Beast without an additional Infuriate available. Bad juju when tanking a few mobs.

Hi doodz!

So I am just a nuu-bee tank WAR and from the reading I have done, it really seems that STR is the way to go. I kinda blew it all into VIT, should I re-spec? Will I hit any stats caps if I fully go VIT or STR? Should I distribute it differently? I can'T seem to find anything on that... Or maybe I ought wait for next update since apparently there will be changes to WAR.

I looooove the WARRIOR!

Vitality or GTFO
