VIT will scale with attack power, STR will scale but not as much

[ErikMynhier]

I like many saw this coming. My tank "friends" and I all argued this back and forth. I as of now have my whole VIT set bought and treated in my retainer while as of today the tanks I know are losing thier minds about this and how they have to grind like the wind. I feel so much like the story the Ant and the Grasshopper.

Grind like the wind for what reason? There's been plenty of time to acquire multiple sets of eso gear. I have a complete collection of gordian/eso slaying accessories and still had eso to spare for more things. Hell, the eso cap is being removed anyway so....What?

That and Midas is being released and with new accessories too on top of the uncapped eso things. A good tank should have VIT and STR sets already ANYWAY. I used crafted accessories early on and still rolled on as much vit AND str stuff as I could lol.

There's no excuse.

I'm not even a raid tank and have a full vit and str set.

There is no grinding lol. Why would anybody ignore vit accs? It might not be optimal for the current tank meta, but it doesn't mean its useless. Bad healers need the fluff to make sure you stay alive because well, they're bad. Even if you don't have them, there is literally 3 weeks before 3.2 drops and you can get an acc every week if you didn't buy any at all, couple that with doing VA every week, and you can have them 210 too. Baddies be bad.

Been thinking about this upcoming change. With tanks prioritizing Vitality, and inflating their health pools, won't that mean that mobs, adds, and bosses will need to be buffed accordingly to keep the gameplay challenging?

After all the pissing and moaning about Gordias, and then these changes, I fully expect the bosses in Midas to hit like freight trains. Kinda exciting really.

As someone who enjoys playing a healer, I agree. It will be exciting (and fun!)

I bought three 210 fending accessories tonight. I'll have a complete set next week. That's what happens when eso is completely pointless for three of your 60s.

Also, my guess for VIT/STR: SE chose a target attack power value for a given ilvl, and made sure that didn't change if you stacked VIT like they wanted you to. In that scenario, VIT contributes most of your AP, and STR makes the last bit to hit the number SE expects; if you're looking at, say, 1000AP right now, I wouldn't expect that number to change if you re-spec for VIT and stack fending accessories.
