Returning Player: Tank Accessories?

[Claymore65]

You should swap to VIT.

Previously, attack power scaled exclusively with Strength, making Slaying DPS accessories a very significant DPS increase.

The new spread is (.45 * Vitality) + (.45 * Strength). This means that you gain the exact same benefit from Strength as Vitality, except for the fact that Vitality also increases your maximum HP. You gain almost nothing from using Strength over Vitality. New dungeons after the swap happened increased outgoing damage a fair amount, so Vitality is an even better choice now.

Your stats should definitely be in Vitality. With stats in Strength, you'll gain the exact same Attack power and lose HP for literally no reason.

Melding Strength into your VIT accessories can make them even stronger, and will be a better increase to damage than melding Crit or Det.

From a high end, BIS, optimization perspective the Secondary Stats on Slaying Accessories (melded with Vitality) can be a total DPS gain, but especially if you're just coming back switch to Fending accessories. Plus, you can actually roll "Need" on those.
