Tanks, please use strength gear.. :(

[Seshayn]

Honestly, just listening to some of my FC healers on mumble yesterday, none of them appreciate str tanks (especially warriors) because they have to constant cast on them and can never find any dps time. And this is in expert roulette. For my experts, I will stick with the proper way to do it. Massive pulls with vit gear and points. Swap to STR 4/1 for any boss (except fractal last boss) because of potential spikes in group damage. I can understand if warriors and drk think wearing some str gear helps the group, as their aoe threat generation abilities do damage. I don't believe any war/drk damage output while aoe tanking 7- 9 targets can outperform a complete loss of healer dps with a couple str pieces. Sorry.

The bonus you get from 5 str pieces could in no way = 11 pieces of mind gear + a weapon swapped into cleric stance tossing aoe at your pack. To think otherwise is to imagine one of your str accessories = 2.2 pieces of the healers gear. You're not fkn superman.

Also, this is obviously intended as my stance on DF tanking and not premade light parties. What you do with your own groups that are ok with whatever that is remains your business.

In addition, if you're in DF alex with pugs, you should really be assuming they aren't going to perform at or above the expectations you would have of your static. Wear your vit for Faust, if people are handlin business and you feel comfortable, swap. Same for A2. Trash before the boss. Oh look, A3, some test dummy bugs for your parsing pleasure. Get a feel for your pug before you take it upon yourself to yoloswag420gitgud. There isn't a fight in DF where you in str gear makes you the hero. Only the idiot.

If you brought your own healers, do what you want of course.
