1. Every has to be doing tons of damage because if a dungeon takes 1 extra minute someone is gonna lose their s**t.

2. Progression/End Game Raiders have said you need to have all the extra damage for doing the end game raids and that translates to everyone doing the same thing even in low dungeons.
It's been repeatedly stated that in lower content and 4 mans you can faceroll it in any gear. If people are refusing to read that then that isn't the fault of people that are saying the STR gear is superior. Additionally, almost all advocates of STR gear are using a mix anyway, so this is just simple misinterpretation of the message. Noone is losing their shit for the extra minute, but if you can shave a minute off a run and not suffer any negatives then why wouldn't you?

The people that are not making good use of a certain setup are generally misinformed and can be taught. If we aren't teach them the limits of the gear and how they should be using it then we are doing them and ourselves a disservice. If you have a STR tank in your party do you watch their buffs on the pulls? Are they cycling cooldowns on trash mobs? They should be. If they aren't politely inform them. Alot of stuff can be fixed with just a gentle nudge.
