The endless battle - Tank attributes

[Kabooa]

Would it not be easy to remove all STR from fending gear and make tanks damage scale 1.0 on VIT?

The easiest "solution" is the .45 str/vit they had going before, which puts them at about 80-85% attack power of a DPS, which is what they had before. The change itself makes no sense outside of SE wanting to move away from "The Tank is just a discount DPS" paradigm that's been present.
