2 birds with 1 stone: how to fix both TANK right side and tenacity

[Claire_Pendragon]

Stacking tenacity is something like 3.5% mitigation.
Anything short of stacking it is less than 1%.

So ignoring offensive stat gain from TEN for a moment, I was thinking of another stat thats sorta pointless, but makes the defensive side of TEN not feel so bad.
If you increase mitigation, then it feel broken in higher %.

So the semi pointless stat it should add, is simply HP.
Not a 1:1 ratio, and since SE mentioned the nerf to VIT was to avoid HP inflation (lolwut) but something like 1.5 TEN = 1 HP.
So 1500 TEN would only be +1,000 HP.

This of course is the ONLY way a tank can actually customize adding HP to their tank, as there is currently no other way, if you just equip tank gear.

Something as small as +1,000 HP isnt going to actually help much, but it sure is nice to see SOMETHING when you're not fully stacked TEN. (Technically I think even a 1:1 ratio isnt broken, but we know SE will think it is)

Next up, I forge the numbers, but I think someone said TEN is roughly 20% of the dmg increase of DET.
I still think it should be lower than DET, but make it at LEAST 66% or 75% of what DET offers.

This will pretty much make TEN usable by those who want the defense, but also make DET the better for 1st clears/speed runners, w/o punishing TEN users too much.

(also, can someone explain to me how VIT 45% of your dmg, caused HP inflation? if SE took away our VIT accessories, and gave us STR, that would make sense, but since VIT amounts didnt change AT ALL, what was the point? We still keep going up in VIT, and equip only VIT.)

We already complain that VIT accessories are because increasing HP is all they do for us so it doesn't address the dmg scaling and HP still have diminishing returns once you have enough to survive the content.
Our accessories need to contribute to our DPS for proper scaling and also just so they feel like an upgrade and not wasted HP.

TEN being a Tank exclusive stats it really should be the preferred sub stat for tank. It's ridiculous that our best substat is DH which is supposed to be DPS gear specific.
SE took away parry because it was useless and gave use another stat that's less awful but awful still.
it really should be TEN > Crit/DH/Det/SkS...

I dont disagree, but with VIT being our only accessory, SE already feels the need to inflate our HP unnecessarily.
I also only mentioned the HP thing because it should be on TEN as an ADDITIONAL effect of TEN, with its mitigation.
(On a side note, increased HP affects some abilities, like thrill of battle, defiance, benediction, living dead (negatively), and also affects the passive 2% healed every 3 seconds. So its not 100% useless, but pretty darn near useless, but then again, so is 0.3% dmg mitigation of a minor amount of TEN. Its more for show, than actual usefulness)

Just wanted to point out that DET currently out performs Lv70 DH for tanks. (DH out performs DET at Lv60)
It doesnt scale, so idk why the DPS shows such different results.

As for Crit, also dont know how effective it is, if its not stacked in large sums.

But back on point, I also agree it needs to raise our dmg up, to be closer to DET, or which ever offensive secondary stat.
If its weaker than all of them, but at least "close" to the weakest, its defensive stats would make it tempting for some players, even if not all of them, or the highest skill players.
