Newish tank how bonus stats

[Dergensaur]

I recently was told the new patch was making vitality the only main stat tanks will use as it will benefit damage and health pools. However looking at a video of the patch notes it didn't seem to address this can someone let me know if the change is happening? Otherwise I feel I need to retrain from pure vitality to pure strength.

Sorry for noob topic.

The change is happening.

From the patch notes:

[2.0][3.0] Calculations for physical damage dealt by tanks have been adjusted.
In accordance with this adjustment, the help text for the VIT parameter has also been adjusted.

Go pure Vit.

Go pure Vit.

Thank you, sorry for being blind.
Last Noob question, trying to focus DRK once it becomes available. Any benefit at all to uping piety for a higher mana pool?

Go full VIT, don't ever consider PIE.

Thanks again for the quick response. Appologizing if I sound extremely stupid, just found it hard to believe most classes essentially put all their bonus points into one attribute without variant so I was trying to think it all over form multiple angles. Just showed my noob colors.

Sadly, the game doesn't offer any variety in any aspect, including stats... Also, as a side note, if you do DRK, please don't ever take Darkside down, fearing your mp is gonna run out.

Will do. Leveling Warrior all the way until I can pick it up, then I'll decide between the three. My first character is a tank and this is essentially my first MMO I'm in for a good time at end game I can tell.

Sorry, off topic, but:

I wonder how this will affect Abyssal Drain/Unleash/Unmend/Dark Passenger/etc.

Up until 3.2 it scaled off STR, now it will scale off VIT. Same thing I guess.

Yeah, it's probably just confusing wording. I guess they could've just said "for damage", though, so it's weird they decided to specify "physical".
