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

[Brannigan]

So unlike MMOs, this one (which is a subscription mmo, meaning you can only do things every so often.) makes you waste your esos replacing a mistake they made. Whilst every other class can spend their esos and time regearing alts and new toons. THAT is not fair.

Spend more time in game and less time on the forums and you'll have no problem getting vitality accessories before the patch hits. It honestly won't even matter unless you're planning on doing day 1 progression anyway. Everything other than raiding is tuned so low that you could go in naked and be fine.
