Tanks, please use strength gear.. :(

Something VERY important to note: full strength gear in Shield Oath is *marginally* less dps than 0 strength gear in Sword Oath. And, pro-tip, a 0 bonus VIT PLD in Shield Oath has more eHP than a full VIT PLD in Sword Oath.

Even if you clip all of this again and ignore everything I say like you did last time, I want you to answer just ONE question (edit: I guess I asked two questions that are basically the same):

I didn't ignore what you said. As I said in my other reply I can do sufficient math to understand this just as much as the next person. The first sentence of yours quoted above is where the problem rests IMHO. To me it says that someone in SE did a horrible job balancing the PLD because our primary Stat - VIT - is somewhat pointless in the face of a STR stacking PLD in Shield Oath.
