Just as the OP alluded to, I'm not so sure it's something to look forward to.. The skeptic in me is thinking they're going to nerf Slaying Accessory loadouts for tanks.. Now that Hybrids are out the window, they've got to kill the full Slaying right-side as well.

My fear is that they're going to make STR provide diminishing returns in the calculations of Attack Power (a STR cap). The only way to increase the STR cap is with higher Weapon Damage (ie: wait for higher iLVL Weapons in a future patch). I'd hate to see it but honestly it's the most likely thing I can imagine.

It'd give them complete control of tank DPS predictability throughout each patch.
