So, apparently, we're getting MORE HP for the SAME dps...

Still downloading the patch, but based on what I'm reading and understanding from people, we tanks (or at least PLDs like me and maybe DRKs) are still doing more or less the same damage but ending up with more HP if we stick to the VIT route as opposed to pure STR or a Hybrid (like I used to be).

So, essentially, it's a net HP gain for the same amount of DPS if switching from STR to VIT. Not technically a DPS gain, but not a DPS loss either. OTOH I'm pretty sure Squeenix never did say we're gonna do more DPS overall, but they did say that going full VIT isn't a DPS gimping. Meaning:

If you were mostly STR, you'd be either getting a slight hit or none at all.
If you were mostly VIT, you might feel a bit of a DPS bump.

Well played Squeenix, well played. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
