"Changing Tank Damage Calculation"

[whiskeybravo]

@alex now i am lost, what is it that you really want? Special feels tank only gear? Nothing that you suggested adds or changes anything to the game other than restricting the gear options and flavor text.

Why would they switch the formula to scale attack power off of vitality? What would the benefit be? That tanks are required to use vit access?

I don't get the feeling they are looking to add anything to the game with this, but rebalance it to have less discrepancy between full vit and full str tanks and to alleviate 5 different classes from trying to obtain the same gear. (or like the crafted gear being better than "tank" raid drops) There are only a few ways to do this really, from not allowing us to equip str at all to changing the damage formula or adding a new tank specific damage stat to changing the ways we can meld materia.
