Strength Tanks

[SwordCoheir]

No, a dead mob lowers overall damage output, not encounter DPS. You'll require less healing overall as a Str tank PERHAPS, but your healer is going to have to work a hell of a lot harder.

They really won't work any harder, the effective healing over time does not change with a bigger or smaller HP pool, it only changes the frequency of which healers have to go back and fourth between their healing and extra curricular activities. Which is something healers should be used too anyways, because every tank is going to perform at different levels and incur different results when it comes to hate management and incoming damage.

Now a typical fight can go so many rounds before tanks need healing, tanks with bigger hp pools can go longer periods without any heals, however it also takes the healer longer to top the tank off. Inversely a tank with lower hp takes less time to top off, but afford the healer shorter breaks inbetween healing sessions. The reason? Because healers won't be curing for any more or less based on the Tank's hp pool.
