From one tank to other tanks..STR Gear is not a thing anymore..Get used to it now!

[Annah]

I'm not saying you wouldn't notice, like I said, it feels alarming because their bar goes down faster, because the bar is a measurement in percent, not absolute HP. What I'm saying is the amount of HP they are losing from one moment to the next is identical to their better VIT'd bretheren.

Provided they don't have so little HP that they die too fast for the healer to finish casting, so little HP that the heals they do get are over-healing and being wasted, or so little HP they can't survive a mechanic or tank buster without a margin of safety, they require no more healing than the next tank.

when a tank buster brings them down to 5% health rather than 45% health no amount of calculations will tell me STR is better. Sorry.

As a white mage, i can tell a remarkable improvement with tanks who wear tank gear. And I can definitely tell when a tank is a "i want to really be a dps person" because their health drops faster than the 1929 Stock Market

By your defending this..I assume you wear STR accessories? I mean you can certainly do what you want but i'm telling ya, your healers were probably stressing out quite often
