War Build > STR or VIT

[MerleFanel]

Did you Know you're on the french part of the forum ?

I think War can be play 1/3 str 2/3 vit (that I play) or 1/2 str 1/2 vit or 2/3 str 1/3 vit. War is actually a great offtank who can do damage as a dps with lot of hp and some regen skills. Str is good too for parry.

some war have recently tank turn 4 with full str, personally i dunno what can be the best... i'm still unsure that more hp for the war will really help him or not. more str means more hp gain from self heal, but do that worth it?
that an exellent question.

Hello dear players,

I moved this thread which was on the French forums in the first place.

Thank you for your understanding. Have a nice day !

Putting points in STR is only viable if you can reach the next STR-Tier within 5 Points - if not every point should be put in VIT. At least this is my opinion.

With the changes from 2.1, there's no reason to go STR unless you already have plenty of buffer and don't need the HP.
Since IB won't scale anymore with damage (or only slightly), the benefit from STR is much more arguable than in 2.0.
A 2.1 WAR will go full VIT and will only mix some STR acc depending on content (you're either overgeared or just offtanking).

It really depends on how many HP you have and how many HP you think is "enough".
I would suggest you to go full VIT and when you are geared enough (between 7.5k and 8k hp) you can respec to STR.

With 30 points on VIT i have 410 STR and 8k HP (full AF2 and nq relic) and im tempted to go full STR but i am afraid i will need all the HP i can get on the new extreme primal fights.

To cut it short its situational and there isnt a "right" and a "wrong".

This is probably closest to the "correct" answer; you want to make sure you can survive the content you are planning to attempt/progress on before adding to your utility (dealing more damage).

There are 3 points to properly tanking:

1. The ability to secure hate.
2. The ability to survive foreseeable incoming damage.
3. The ability to contribute utility that will help the party succeed.

The first point is the most important because without it you are not fulfilling your base role, to be the focus of the enemy's attacks. The second point is almost equally important because if you are dead you are not being targeted by the enemy. The third point only comes into play after the first two points are met; utility includes (but is not limited to); increasing your damage output, debuffing the enemy, buffing party members, perfecting your placement, ect... basically anything you can do to make the fight more easy for your team-mates.

So by all means allocate more points to STR if you are able to fulfill the first two points without issue and it won't effect your ability to do so.

There's always the option of partial in each stat. Mainly 18 Str 12 Vit. This tends to be the "sweet spot" for WAR
