Strength Tanks

[RyuDragnier]

My only problem with Strength tanks is that most of you who I run into with DF don't know how to pop a bloody cooldown. We could burn through enemies a lot faster if I or another healer could be allowed to actually DPS while healing, but as long as you don't pop cooldowns, that ain't going to happen and is only going to stress us out because we have less margin for error. If you're going to go full strength, know an actual cooldown rotation, otherwise you're just making the run take longer than it needs to and causing the healers undue grief.

How much more margin of error does a vit tank who doesn't pop cooldowns provide you? I feel that In both cases, the failure to tank effectively has less to do with stats and more to do with playstyle.

Whether its VIT type or a STR type, if a tank player isn't making an effort to pop cooldowns effectively then they need to reset and put all their points into INT.

The difference is generally one GCD. It's usually enough to get a fully dotted bane out rather than having to abort early.
