That tanking maces well had very little to do with stsf, and a lot to do with dex and low carry weight. Keeping carry weight low as an elf is difficult. If I had earlier logs where I didn't have as good equipment, you would see a lot different tanking and damage output. In the above log, first fight was without stsf charges. Dex is king in melee with dex changes, but melee is only king when you are able to bash.
