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

[Rbstr]

lol all that damage nerfing just to make it back to the way it was

well with the block on being able to use str accessories, it will probably not nearly be quite as high as 3.0 but a decent start

Huh? This change is probably an even further nerf to tank damage. If attack power scales 1:1 with Strength like it used to tanks will actually take hit in attack power. You accessories won't give any attack power (unless they put strength on them) unless you meld that tiny bit of str in. Plus gear has less strength than vit to begin with.
