I was 30 STR for a long time until I went to Coil then I started swapping but now that I have the gear to balance it... back to 30! Out of defiance WAR DPS isn't going to beat an equally geared dps anyday, but it isnt PLD shitty. I don't use the crafted melded stuff (mostly because im cheap) but for playing around with damage I use the STR Darklight jewlery, I mean this post is about 3 months late. Having ~7500 hp is fine for most things and allows you more options then trying to be a PLD type tank (passive to reactive).
