I see too many tanks using a full side of STR accessories but have multiple issues as every tank changes dungeon to dungeon. One will think he is the best tank ever and have no tanking stance but full STR acc and die repeatedly. One has no idea about this other than what they hear from other players in towns or FCs or something and they come in wearing STR and cannot perform their jobs properly. This even happens in Alexander where i have had WAR and DRK thinking they are amazing and pull the group only to die in 5 seconds due to lack of proper gearing and wearing STR of just not using CDs. Which is another thing not for this thread. So sorry if i ranted a bit.

I also have to say you cannot comment on whether or not people lose it over a dungeon taking a minute or two extra. Seeing as you have not had it happen to you where as it has happened to me numerous times. I don't doubt it has happened to others. A minute difference is not a big difference sure if you can save one or a few good, but not at the cost of badgering your party and being an A**hat.This almost always ends up causing the dungeon to take longer because someone couldn't have some patience. Just because you can does not mean you should always.
Thats the issue. They are going a full way instead of a part way.

I am always in Tank Stance unless i'm just not getting hit or the boss is casting something and not attacking me. So most of the time i'm in Tanking Stance. I have full strength for that extra 27% damage and I always keep my damage buffs up. I do fine DPS.

However, when I go on my healer to heal strength tanks. They are NOT in Tank Stance a lot, and switch out often when they are going to get spiked, which is BAAAAD! (VERY BAD!)

I don't mind going to DPS stance to use a Fell Cleave twice. However get back to tank stance quick!
