    For solo vitality, for multi strength.

    I think almost the opposite, for solo str so you can kill faster, though vitality works with right spec.

    Multi its all about vitality so you can tank, lots of other classes are weaker with higher dps so you wont compete and you have to be in melee range so you dont want to die.

    Im lvl 33 in Nightmare on my Barb mostly Vitality mobs die fast enough solo bosses and some elites take quite a while to kill but my hp regen is so high that I dont really die. I have a 50 Witch Doctor and found in Hell mode that kiting for every battle was no fun for me so I wanted a tank for our group, and since we didnt have one I made one :D

    Im like 85% vit 15% str, with as much on hit hp regen and over time hp regen as I can get.

    So after act 1 normal I have not used a single potion since, even things like bosses or elite mobs that summon damage over time effects on the ground I just stand in them and bash faces in and my hp regen out heals the damage I take.

    This wont work in higher difficulties though, :D

    Indeed. Potions aren't necessary in the entirety of normal mode, given reasonable control.

    i think it would depend if you are going to be a dps or a tank, personally i stack vit, and as with ViciousXUSMC focus on health regain, using taunt and cc abilities and let the rest of the group burn the mobs down.
