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

[Fevelle]

This is definitely something that can happen. I think I was working around with stats on ariyala earlier and if strength still has at minimum a .8 weighting to vitality (sheer speculation and it could be higher or lower) than you will see Strength accessories in certain slots that are say... accuracy/parry fending pieces when you can't use anymore accuracy. That being said this entire possibility goes to shit if you drop strength to around the .5 vit = 1 STR (1:2) mark. at that point you could have nothing but the fully allotted vitality on the accessory and the strength still wouldn't be better due to stat weights.

They did say the tanks could go Full Vit now, so the second option is more likely
