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

[Annah]

True story. STR Tanking is a thing again. It's dumb, but it's a thing again until SE provides a fix. Until then, make proper use of CD's and swap pieces as necessary if your df healer is undergeared/skilled.

even with the best geared healer, not much you can do when an Omega "boss" pops a tank buster and it one shots the tank because they're sporting STR 270 gear. (yup, i've seen this happen too. Not as much, thank God, but I have seen it).

Honestly, it feels like some tanks "found a way to get around the system with STR" but in actuality it makes them poorer tanks when they think it makes them better tanks. I mean I guess it makes sense, they're in a dungeon doing their thing...but they don't see the healer in the background spamming heals like it's going out of style just to keep them alive.
