Tanks, please use strength gear.. :(

Threads like this suck. Stop thinking its all about the tank going full STR, I can rock it with STR gear but if a healer is less skilled, he's not gonna keep up, recently i rarely see healers that even DPS when tanking wether i go STR or VIT. i have no problem myself healing + dpsing wether a tank is new or has str/vit gear.

But people who say VIT gear is not needed are just stupid. There are plenty of things VIT Gear is usefull for specially if you're going to team up with random people.
Going with your FC or a good pre-made group is a different story.

*** Spoiler alert

Tanks should be taking as much DMG as possible, Not dealing as much DMG as possible. Yes, extra DMG is nice, not needed in simple dungeons though. If you wanna talk more DMG maybe you should look at your DPS(Maybe at yourself?) first.

Neverreap, i rather run the 2nd island with mobs full VIT to make it easier on my healer so my 2 RNG classes can nuke everything at once than to do it in 2 pulls as i've seen every tank done so far. <Just an example

Vitality does not make you take less damage. Are you sure you are a tank? It actually doesn't help much, more dps does because mobs die faster.

he's a paladin and doesn't recall 2nd coil when Paladins were solo tanking everything; and now he's complaining about other tanks (warriors and Dark Knights) damage output; and he doesnt realize taking more damage is a burden on healers so lets just not use cooldowns either.

@ Nektlos, Lol i think i've tanked more stuff than you'll ever will to begin with. And once again, What is the use of going full STR if healer just can't keep up. i rather give him some more time to cure me due to the extra HP than to wipe and start all over again.

See, thats the mindset of idiots right there. we need to maximize DPS no mather what. If you want DPS look at the DPS Classes not at the tank, And ONCE again not saying you shouldn't roll full STR cause i do, But its a big factor on your healer, and i've seen plenty of healers who can't keep up, specially the new ones.

Oh and yeah, i usually keep up quite wel DPS wise on either tank or healer, So i do know how to DPS yes, but once again. Full STR is not always the best thing to do. You know, random people and all.
