Warrior VIT vs STR

[Cap75]

Pre 2.1, when Inner Beast healed you based on 300% of your damage dealt, you needed some STR, since more damage = more heals. In 2.1 it was reduced to 100%, and you gain a flat 20% damage reduction for 5 seconds. Since the amount healed back is rather negligible now, I believe they opt for 30 VIT now instead.

**Disclaimer: Just what I picked out from reading posts in the forum. I only leveled a Warrior in 2.1, so I can't comment about 2.0.

That's a bummer. The reason I was going Warrior over Paladin was because I liked the added dimension of self heals through damage while tanking. I somehow missed that that aspect was heavily gimped with that patch in my searching. Thanks for pointing me to that thread.
