What they mean by "change the damage calculations of tanks"?

[Gumbercules]

I interpreted it as the samething

That makes the most sense honestly. Making it based on both STR and VIT in some ration mix sounds messy, and no job in the game has such a damage formula. The current meta would be maintained without forcing one class to blow millions on accessories. Fending accessories would be something to be excited about again as well.

if they do this maybe parry could become some kind of primary tank stat too so we no longer ahve the "useless" secondary issue! =D
