Quick thought with paladin and 1.22b

Considering I'm not the one going on about how STR is not a tank stat, I don't think I'm the one inside the box...
It's definitely something I wish more Final Fantasy games touched upon. That and I like to think that Agrias was a different flavor of Paladin.

I didn't say STR isn't a tank stat, I said that the design for PLD as it is makes STR not a stat for it. It's design is around turtle tanking, not around DPS tanking, that's WARs gig. So yep STR on WAR as tank, Anti-STR on PLD because of it's design.

Considering tank DPS matters to a degree, STR makes sense. As I mentioned, shield blocking should simply scale with some STR so that STR has an additional benefit.

I think we're going to agree to disagree here. I'm fine with STR being a stat for PLD because I have an idea of what it could do to further benefit the job and not look like the odd man out. You want to just replace it with another stat. You're in favor of turtle tanking, whereas I had to learn the hard way that it's not good design unless you have only one tank class in the game. Even XI's PLD had to adjust and favor accuracy and attack because a tank's DPS is directly linked to their ability to generate threat/hate/enmity.
