I'm struggling to see why tanks and healers cannot have Direct Hit Rate on their gear... It just hurts game balance more among other things...
Can somebody help me understand why tanks and healers can't have Direct Hit Rate aside from "identity" because I'm not seeing the bigger picture...
Can Role Stats affect Direct Hit Rate now?

And then there is the ongoing debate that Tenacity is a really bad stat because it's not as big of a DPS gain like Direct Hit Rate or even Determination/Critical Hit, and as a tank main I REALLY WANT Tenacity to be a loved stat by tanks but Direct Hit is kinda making it difficult to make it so because of tank DPS...
Not sure if that helps explain what I mean, but I did present that "Role" stats aren't even remotely balanced as the devs believe them to be...
