I'm spec 27 VIT and 3 STR and my highest Inner Beast was 1080 dmg.... my average being between 570-750dmg? :/

I think gear and stat allocation will have to be reassessed with Inner Beast being a 100% heal and used preemptively (overhealing losses) rather than the reactive play we use now.

The value of having that DR up for the "high damage phase" of any given fight is this; it raises my eHP and makes me last longer. That DR isn't going to scale with your STR, but it will become more effective the higher your VIT value. That allows for more margin for your healers. I worry that using full strength would exacerbate the problem of "how do I survive" rather than alleviate it post-update.

What's your opinion?
