Goodbye strength tanks. Let us never be forgotten.

[karateorangutang]

Regardless this thread was a goodbye for STR tanks that cared. We had fun, we did things noone wanted us to do in the name of optimization and in the end we got patched into a more streamlined system.

I'm glad I won't have to fight for accessories for one, but riding the edge of health, survivability, and DPS was something that drew many of us to tank and there were even some of us that were *gasp* good at it. Maybe not myself, I'm not here to lord over others, but I definitely had alot of fun balancing DPS with survivability.

I won't lie though, I can't wait to see the threads in 2-3 weeks about tanks that don't cycle CD's again. It's going to happen and then we will be right back to the same complaining that started in 2.0. We might as well go back and necro the threads now.

As a vit-tank, I will miss the days of taking over for the remainder of the Void Ark run after strength tank #52693 ran out of health while trying to tank an easy boss. Dead = 0 DPS.

Im curious if people in this thread hate all str tanks or just the bad ones.

And I will miss the days of VIT tanks desperately trying to hold hate off me while I'm in DPS stance. :3

Little too much fantasy happening in your fantasy game there, bud.

Can't recall that happening ever. If that's an issue you ran into, it probably had more to do with i-level differences and less with who was wearing VIT or STR accessories.
