Strength Tanks

[Shurrikhan]

Finally! someone had to say this! i have no idea why people think getting two hit by bosses is a good idea.

Because getting as close to being one-shot, without requiring that healers lose dps or are forced to use CDs where they otherwise would not, is actually a good thing, assuming the enemy dies faster as a result. I don't know why people would think otherwise. Deaths beyond the minimum eHP for a give TB will be because you or the healers screwed up. An extra 4k health isn't typically going to save you from anything but an immediate AA after a TB, which most tanks will have already included in that minimum eHP count (though, as long as they are not truly simultaneous, that eHP can also be dropped).

Additionally, STR improves every tank function other than eHP, while Vitality does not. Stronger self-heals, more enmity.

I only go full Strength and Take off Grit when Im in a static group I trust - Other wise, I am putting my faith in a healer that I have no experience with. With so many bad players out there whether either DPS or healing. There is no other real choice.
