Strength Tanks

I remember a while back, when they were previewing 3.1, there was a DRK with some ~21k health in a dev screenshot and everyone was like "Oh my god, devs use Fending? Git gud." I still think the devs intended on tanks using fending primarily, only using slaying to bridge the dps gap if the need arose. I don't think they anticipated people completely phasing out Fending and treating vit like a plague.

Ah. So the real reason tanks wear str and healers dps is to carry the dps. If SE could do it in fending then we could to, right? :P

Ahaha, I'm making no so such claims. I think that's what SE thinks it's like, and they also thought the current tier of Savage was overtuned a bit, supporting that thought. We also don't really know what SE's intended ilvl for Savage was, because I've seen some people saying anything over ilvl ~195 is overgearing it. I don't really know, because I haven't bothered to do anything past A1S.
