Yeah which is why im saying DF is a crapshoot. It really can't even be considered in the hypothesis because there is no control. The argument is that, in theory, there is no reason why STR accessories should outperform VIT accessories when used properly. I've never advocated that new tanks that don't have a good understanding of their job or the instances should run out and load up on STR gear. The argument is that a tank who is competent is selling themself short by gearing all VIT accessories. If your running into tanks that are bad ( and yes if they are gearing STR and can't handle it then they are bad, whether or not it is their fault) then gearing STR is the least of their issues.
