I wouldn't say Vit is useless. I see it as similar to accuracy. Past a certain point, it serves no purpose, as you will survive everything you're hit with and you can use less and less Vit if you use cooldowns optimally. After a certain point in T13 or whatever, you WILL survive that Akh Morn and even the potential AA crit afterward, and then there's no use in having more HP, in my opinion. It is an unfortunate characteristic to have for a main stat that will probably not go away unless they change the parry system immensely and make it the main stat or something, keeping Vit as a secondary. I don't know how they'd do this; I'd just like parry to be better.
I don't like to complain in here. I think though that one thing I would prefer is that people don't woundlick quite so much. I've been kicked from parties twice now for pretty innocent, obvious advice like "please use buffs" and "please help burn x." In both of these instances, it was due to a healer or tank that wasd being mentored on the fly by the other two party members, who wouldn't suffer any criticism towards their stagnating friend, becoming a worse player by the minute the more they sheltered them from positive advice for fear of bruised egos.
