Wow SE... that's ridiculous. -203 attack power :(
They told us they were doing this lol, I honestly expected it to be more.
He said "your damage in VIT gear will be a little less than it was in the same item level STR gear".
In this instance, every WAR loses between 200 and 300DPS, flat out (don't know about PLD or DRK).
Every tank loses between 200 and 250 Attack power.
What we get in return is bloating of a stat that holds little to no value passed a very easy to reach without VIT accessories point: HP.
No changes to Parry to make it valuable. Nothing to make VIT a stat that is actually useful in any way besides making up a minuscule fraction of the deficit Attack Power from pre-patch. Just more HP. Effectively it's a 20-35% decrease in tank damage output. Any group who was just barely (see: most) beating A3 or A4 pre-patch will no longer be able to clear it.
