Strength Tanks

[Hayward]

Adamant "VIT tanks" just want to absolve themselves of the responsibility that may come with what they perceive as a potentially dangerous build choice; their perception likely stemming from a lack of practical experience with the game's encounters. They're afraid of healers playing the gear card against them if they happen to wipe.

Or maybe they've played both roles and actually have some degree of respect for healers and give them as much leeway as possible.

I can trust a good tank with STR accessories--which I really believe should be locked to DRG & MNK--as long as they're keeping to their actual job, tanking. My problem lies in the fact there are too many Leeroys trying to be DPS who pull entire sections of enemies and get all bent out of shape when healers are unable to keep these dolts standing upright.
