Can square enix just put Str and Vit on fending gear?

I'm i197 Summoner, and my friend i203 WAR, in dps stance, can do as much as me single target in Fractal (900-1000 dps on bosses). Sure on aoe they lose out (do 600 to my 2200), and Summoner isn't that great single target, but yeah WAR can still 'replace' a Summoner in fights where Summoner isn't aoeing. Haven't seen a Scholar pushing 1000 dps yet.

I'm sorry to tell you that you're bad at SMN. At i197 you should do above 1200-1300 DPS on single target bosses. And on AoE your WAR is bad, 600 is the AoE DPS of a PLD using Flash, Circle of Scorn and some Goring Blade combos while in Shield Oath. A WAR can pull above 2200 in a short AoE fight, and I will grant you that this is super high for a tank, but for sustained AoE fights like A2S, they balance out and go back to less DPS than a DPS's DPS (that's a lot of DPS).
