Strength Tanks

[Bashum]

From where I stand, it seems like some people want to take less damage and just focus on holding hate. Others want to be able to do more damage as a tank to shorten encounters.


Where is the middle ground?

Except that there's this misconception that having STR accessories causes you to take "more damage" which is not the case at all. It simply gives less time before your healer needs to pop out of cleric stance and begin healing you.

As long as your health bar is decreasing at a rate that's reasonable enough for healers to stance dance and dps with relative ease, there's zero reason to have any extra VIT at the expense of STR.
