Tanks, please use strength gear.. :(

[Esp]

I only made the thread as a suggestion to new players. =)

This right here is my issue with most of this. New players just starting to tank or even leveling a tank SHOULD NOT be attempting to use STR gear without first learning the ins and outs of their tanking job first.

Proper cooldown usage, snap aggro, holding hate, and other very important tank necessities should be taught to newer players first and foremost before any tank should even consider putting STR anywhere besides their attribute points bonus or dropping their tank stance.

Leveling AST (just hit 60 last night!) I have seen WAY too many tanks try to do mass pulls with a complete set of slaying accessories on their right side plus using their DPS stance and using no cooldown whatsoever and die quicker than my Benefic cast can even begin. I've also had one argue that his reason for not using something as simple as Rampart was the fact that "it does nothing for my damage" >.>

It's heartbreaking as a tank main to watch these kinds of things happen and being taught to new folks for the sake of 2 - 3 mins less in a dungeon. Sure later on switching out Vit accessories out for STR as needed is fine when your HP is more than enough for the content your doing, but this only works when you are completely competent in your tanking job, which most new players, aren't.

If I see a tank that has less HP than a DRG, especially in Alex...it's time to start worrying. Even more so when they seem to tank the ground much more than actual mobs.
