The endless battle - Tank attributes

[Brannigan]

I tanked a small amount in HW and doing it more now in SB. Was there a problem with tank damage scaling off vitality? They mentioned HP bloat but that really was a poor excuse for the change in stormblood.

Tying damage to vit is a little bad because if they want to change the amount of vit we get then damage is affected as well. Actually, looking at item trends from HW: before the tomestone/raid stuff, STR/VIT was equal on gear. The i210 body gives 107vit/101str (~1.06) while the i270 gives 190vit/169str (1.12). Perhaps this time they don't want to increase the VIT:STR ratio quite as much to prevent tank HP from going out of control.
