He runs out of mana on huge trash packs as a -scholar-, a class which has basically infinite mana due to their mechanics, unless a tank does huge damage via strength. He thinks that the 15-20% extra damage you get from wearing strength accessories equates to 50% more damage. He thinks ALL tanks should go strength even when undergeared, and that it makes it -easier- on the healer. He's also missing Stoneskin as a crossclass but that's by the by (double shield before a huge pull is kinda handy for dpsing at the start).

    It's a shame because the general advice of tanks wearing Strength gear WHEN THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE is perfectly valid, but the way OP has been phrasing the reasons is just causing everyone to lose their minds.
    Strength Accessories + 20% from Maim + 50% from Berserk + Unchained is a very huge increase in damage. I would say even about 50% because damage modifiers multiply your damage. I was talking about that if you read my thread.

    I have a much easier time healing dungeons when the tanks go full strength, because things honesty die faster.

    Strength tanks have more self-healing and sustained health and usually know how to use their mitigation tools better.
