Thread: VIT vs. STR 3.2

I didn't even start adding my bonus points to str until 40 anyways since I was "rebelling" against the meta .

I will say, as someone who is fine with this change, pre-50 content wise, you have very little overall differences in your VIT to STR stats. Your accessories were only giving you a boost of like, 6 in whatever stat it was allocating in. At level 50 with the higher item level gear is where you could finally start to see the greater effects of vit vs. str gear. At level 60, it was night and day.

I did run Ex roulette with my 210 vit tank and had much more trouble holding hate than usual than I did with my 200 str tank. Granted, I could grab right back, but my rotation had to be changed to compensate. Especially for big AoE hitters like BLM's.
