Picking 1 vit vs 1 str/2 dex is so situational. They are such small numbers that their relative value is going to be so small...

I suppose that Vit was more valuable when you die or live by less than 16hp. On the other hand every other situation the str/dex is better I guess? lol

Can't really say. Frankly I like that fact. Doesn't pigeonhole is into a race to be the "best" tank.
