Silly tank melds

[Sanctify]

It seems like every tank i come across has tenacity melds. To this I have two questions. What are you smoking? And can i have some?

Wasn't it proven that stacking 1k-1.5k tenacity results in 5% less damage recieved and 5% more damage dealt or something like that? Not exactly stellar but far from worthless.

It's like there's a horde of people following the direct hit bandwagon, because someone said it was good, and they decide to mock everyone who does otherwise.
Not everyone is a sheep (for better or worse).


Tenacity isn't the go-to for DPS, but it's far from worthless. Nor do I see how stacking the ONE stat is beneficial to anything other than the ego that goes with saying "I did -this- much damage (as a tank)".

I have a mix-up of melds including tenacity, crit, sksp and direct hit, and I'm waiting on the live letter to tell us what changes they have coming for tanks. I don't see how you belittling someone's choices of meld makes you any better. This isn't parry we are talking about.

If a player want to be MT for the rest of his raiding life for savage I don't see a problem with him going full vit accessory with tenacity meld I am sure their healer will love him more then any tank out there it's like a mini rampart trait that is on for the entire fight and healing received to me this is pretty neat and it will increase as we get better gear in the future

What is the point of this thread other than for you to sound like a smart ass jerk?

Actually, for a dps, it is worthless. Tenacity doesn't give anything unless you're a tank.

You're misunderstanding. They are referring to a tank's DPS.

Tanks? DPSing?

Square here with patch 4.05. We've removed Tenacity because it was giving tanks more damage. That's a nono. Instead it's replaced by this new stat, that does basically nothing. You probably won't notice.

Think she referring to tank dps as in tank who think their dps matters or those who care really much for their dps as a tank

I'm just making a joke how Square hates tank dps.

Don't mind me. Please.
