This though? Yeah, they have to increase Enmity modifiers. Even if it's 1.00 STR again, having (at best) some pathetic Tier-V/VI STR materia melds on full-VIT Accessories isn't going to cut it (unless their plan is to force you to be in your turtle stance when main tanking). If that's the case, it's probably time to bid farewell to tanking having any kind of enjoyment whatsoever.
I wonder how long it'll be before shitters are whining about tank DPS not being able to make atrocious groups just barely pass the (low) DPS check bar set in Duty Finder come June 16th.
