Thank god statics will now only have 1-2 players fighting for STR accessories instead of 3-4.
They are not going anywhere tho...
Depending on actual balance, probably you will see tanks still using some slaying accesories to make up for fending stuff that has parry on it. Any stat > parry.
It makes me sad as a healer main to come into threads about str tanks cause I know what I'm gonna find.
Other healers claiming it was the str gear that caused the problems.
Instead of Oh, I don't know, the tanks skill level or shocker, the healer themselves.
On topic however, I don't really mind about the changes. As a healer nothing really will change and I'll continue to do my normal thing in dungeons. I guess I'll have even more time to DPS now probably though.
Thank you good STR tanks for speeding up my daily duties.

I find it ironic that there are alot of people that hated str tanks. We were revolutionary to our role. If it weren't for us VIT tanks may not have seen dps improvements and the situation for vit only tanks may not have been as noticeable by SE.
Sometimes I think some people think STR tanks needed to be healed more then VIT tanks.
I actually need less healing as a STR tank, since my self-heals heal me for that much more with the extra AP. Having more VIT doesn't magically make me take less damage.
Unless STR gives close to the amount of damage that VIT does, you won't see this because primary > any secondary.
Actually seems to hold hate better IMO had a friend play full vit gear keep losing hate, suggest add some str gear although he went full str. He did nothing different for how he plays and keep hate just find with me dpsing and not having to use shroud/shrug
