    The fact that its activated by a heal is why people told you to quit tanking.... because you are activating a defense buff not meant for you but the party... that triggers when you are healed.... lol. Sorry but its kinda funny.

    Divine Veil and Stoneskin are really the only two compelling reasons why PLD might actually want copious amounts of Vitality. Stoneskin's function gives it good parity with high Vitality if the PLD can cast it on themselves, as its effectiveness scales directly with the target's HP. Divine Veil is similar, because the shield given to the party is based on the casting PLD's HP.

    Unfortunately, there isn't enough need for tanks to generate that extra mitigation in the current paradigm, so Vit tanking is still only for stubborn folks (or people idealistically hoping 3.2 will change things).

    Oh, well... I guess I SHOULD quit tanking, then lol...

    Thanks for the information. I guess I became oblivious to how it actually worked...

    Man, it's pretty weird, though.

    I used Divine Veil and Sentinel on Oppressor for the Tank Buster and lived, unless I missed a healer hitting me with a type of shield or something.

    It could have been a fairy heal or even one of those heal type actions non-healers have, if you know what I mean.

    If it's any consolation then this topic has also taught me that the defence buff doesn't apply to me - the Paladin - as well.

    Nah! Many people know that I never troll. I post based on experience, not entertainment.
