Yup, been toying around with a STR build WAR (I main a BRD and alt a PLD) with i70 DPS accessories and respected 30VIT to 30STR, the difference is clearly noticeable in in dungeons and coil1. Hate shouldn't be much of an issue as I've noticed I could easily rip hate off a similarly geared PLD in shield oath. Last night I did a critical BB @ 1250 dmg without in defiance mode and it ripped hate off a i90+ PLD in shield oath stance.

Still learning how to WAR, but as long as you survive, a STR build WAR is pretty amazing.
