Attribute allocation

[Ysarel]

I just haven't seen any research on whether or not there's a health cap in which it becomes pointless without mitigation.

I'd probably laugh if anyone ever attempted to lay down hard numbers on such a thing. Such a threshold does exist, but it depends on the encounter, your skill at tanking, your healers, and potentially the rest of your team as well. It's a moving target. Given the relative cost of swapping between attribute specs at this time, I would recommend swapping your jewelry for melded i70 gear or STR i90 gear in situations where you're comfortable with your max HP instead unless you feel that you can spec to STR fulltime with zero sacrifices in gameplay. The tradeoffs are better and you can swap back and forth more freely.
