According to this

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...talk_tenacity/

"Fast Blade Average Before Tenacity - 1048.52
Fast Blade Average After Tenacity - 1052.88

That's a WHOPPING .414% Damage increase, 2.66% Increase with 1750 Tenacity

Clemency Average Before Tenacity - 7134.96
Clemency Average After Tenacity - 7183.36

Oh baby, .673% Heal increase on clemency, 4.32% increase with 1750 Tenacity

Stone Hit Average Before Tenacity - 1795.60
Stone Hit Average After Tenacity - 1785.88

a .541% Damage decrease over 216 Tenacity. 3.47% increase with 1750 Tenacity."


The gains are EXTREMELY small. So low it has no effect on anything. Is it supposed to be like this? It doesn't even sound worth melding with such low returns.

Looks to me that SE at least managed to make Tenacity on par with Parry in usefulness, while removing the pesky RNG aspect of it.
