    War Build > STR or VIT

    Hey guys! I'm about to get my war to 50 and wondering about whether or not to go full STR or VIT.
    With STR it's easier to hold aggro, and with a War a lot of HP is restored with the more damage done.. So that's seems like a good choice, plus DPS from all classes helps, a tank that does no damage is no use
    But
    A Tank is basically a punching bag.. So Having the HP to take the hits is important, plus the more VIT the higher the gain from defiance.
    So I understand some of the basics behind both, but I'm not sure what the right choice is. Like if a war has DL and AF2 then is putting points into STR the right idea? Or should you always invest into HP?
    Any help is appreciated, I've read a few different guides from people but I'm curious what individuals have to say? So links are appreciated but personal opinions or strategies is what I'm hoping for!
    Thanks!!

    Go full VIT for point allocation and use Accessories to mix Vit vs STR. Equip Vit accessory until you reach a comfortable HP pool for your party, then go for STR/CRIT ones.
    I'd say until Titan, being more on the STR side will work fine because nothing can really kill you if the healer does his job.
    For Titan and Coil, I'd go for full Vit.
    VIT will always be the main stat but you may want to be flexible depending on content and party setup.

    This is what I think when people tell you to go full VIT on a WAR. http://www.mypinoyrecipes.com/wp-con...leche-flan.jpg

    VIT on early levels and when reaching AV go full STR.


    The on Coil you can mix things up oncey ou have decent Myth/Allagan gear since STR parry rate is at every 30 pts. <<Can be mistaken this.

    Ignore Crimess.
    There is absolutely no reason to go Strength allocation as a Tank.
    GIven also that it is more difficult to change allocation than it is to swap gear pieces, which also have a stronger effect than allocation, you can go safely full Vit.
    In fact you should go ful vit, more health is better, and frankly, increasing your parry rate really isn't worthwhile since its still RnG and you can only parry physical type abilities.
