    Update so far:

    Putting every bonus stat point into STR is working out very well for me.

    1. My threat is phenomenal. On a single target, nobody will ever tear it away from me. I can afk a third of the way through a fight on a standard dungeon mob and it will be dead before it turns from me. I can easily hold aggro on 2 enemies while each DD is focusing a different one.

    2. My Block Strength is great. Every once in a while I'll see a dungeon boss hit me for 0 on a block (don't know how often it happens, but it does).

    3. My damage is surprisingly good. I will never, ever compete with a DD, but that's obvious and as it should be. Still, I contribute far more than people usual give tanks credit for. In the final boss of Sunken Temple, if my SMN managed to get within the sealed squares he would struggle, and often fail, to kill off the Mithral Virge in time, whereas I could kill them with ease every time.
