Silly tank melds

[Voormund]

"Collectively believed" doesn't mean a thing. Given otherwise identical gear and performance the difference between a full Direct Hit melded tank and a full Tenacity melded tank is going to be about .5%. 10-15 DPS.
That's going to be far less noticeable than cutting off an extra 2.8% damage taken.

I would rather have an extra half a percent (hell even a quarter of a percent) of DPS that is at least going to go towards helping shorten a run than a wasted 2.8% mitigation that is very likely not going to make any difference in the fight. As the stat values go up DH and Crit only further the gap between Tenacity - if the extra 2.8% of mitigation in a fight where you are in no danger of dying already is worth it to you - by all means go for it. You cannot really argue that Tenacity isn't a mediocre stat which is only slightly more useful than initially believed to be.
