Mentioning another thread. Interesting...
The best plate armours would still require 13 Strength (actually more than that for higher Armour values, but for 20% to all resists you'd need at least that much). Even with Fashion Plate that would be 10 Strength, not exactly a small investment. If it's really a problem, perhaps 2 instead of 3 for Fashion Plate would be a better idea; 11 Strength is more investment than 10.
If you check the thread I've essentially replaced Weather the Storm with Headstrong (currently a Scoundrel talent). So it's not like I'd be leaving Str-based completely in the lurch. Scoundrel gets its own buffs in return. It would also be very difficult for a spellcaster to capitalize on more than one or two of the elemental resistance talents I've suggested simultaneously; even if they did, it would cost multiple talent points for them to do it.
I actually didn't give my characters Leech during my playthrough. I tried it out later, though, just to confirm that it's as good as people say it is. Warriors are still plenty powerful without Leech.
I don't think blocking should be nerfed at all. Two-handers are already pretty dominant.
