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

[Instrumentality]

lol... remind me to refine the fine print for you next time. as you can't take off a weapon and breaking would be a fairly time consuming process, I did not include the weapon in the process. I thought it was safe to assume that if you did testing, you wouldn't change weapons for part of the test. It is a constant (as is your left side gear).

All of what you said makes sense except for the left side gear being a constant. Until we know exactly how they are going to change the balance of strength and vitality contribution to attack power (What if, for example, strength contributes nothing to attack power at all? Or becomes as weak as determination? And since vitality on tank gear is higher than strength, it would create a notable difference in AP gain on i210 gear) we cannot definitely say that it will be the exact same, hence not wearing it to remove that being a question in mind. What you can say is that right side i210 will be the exact same because the stats on the items themselves have not been said to be changing.

Also what Brannigan said.
