WAR Stat Allocation Str vs. Vit

[MythToken]

Really?
So every time you get a new pece of gear, you spend the 10k FC points to reset your allocation?

It is a no brainer, you go full vitality, because you can easily swap gear, but changing allocation is not as easily done unless you do large amounts of hoarding for hymns.
Even then parry is UNRELIABLE, and it works ONLY on physical abilities.
Why anyone would ever consider it rivaling vitality is silly.

Not even in a game like RIFT where you could once get a 63% block did anyone ever prioritize it over their mitigtion/endurance stats.

Um yes really, and getting a new piece of gear will not get you to the next parry tier. Parry tiers are 40str pts apart. It doesn't happen that often. As a warrior parry is your ONLY mitigating stat. And a 1% increase in parry is THOUSANDS of damage over a fight. So yes I will change from +5str/+25vit, to +15str/+15vit, if my new piece of gear + a stat change pushed me into the next parry tier.

You also act like Str has no benefit beyond the increase in parry.

Hey mates,

How would stats allocation change if we were talking about PvP? Would you recommend to go fully Str? (I'm just assuming thats the way to go).

Cheers!

Actually I did just that. I'm main PLD so in Coils I don't Use War (where the extra Vit actually matters). But playing as full STR MRD on PvP is so much fun!. I put out some pretty decent numbers, only SMNs beat my dps on PvP. Also I use my Full STR WAR for daily Duty Roullette for a change of pace.
