Yoshi-P on Tenacity

[Kosmos992k]

You're all going to change your tune once you'll be able to reach tenacity levels that give you a "free" tank stance (or nearly 20%)

To me it seems that with current gear and melds the max amount of Tenacity we can have is a 3-5% boost/ mitigation making it almost as effective a half a rampart with 100% up time. It it really shows its weight as it scales, and presuming we continue to be able to add significant amounts via melding, it could be interesting. Numerically though, they have to be careful of how it scales so that it doesn't become pointless to stack in future, or ultimately over powerful.

You can get 5% right now with barely any melding at all. Around 1500 tenacity you'll be right at 5%. Easily attainable just through gear.

As for DH ... it's the best scaling stat for every non healer right now. While tanks won't be seeing higher numbers there, it is still the best stat to take. We get enough Crit, Det, and (lol) Skill Speed from gear. And yes any tank going full skill speed, and I have seen some, is laughable.

Tenacity is 180-220 per 1% damage increase and mitigation, unless more was found out, wearing full fending gear gives you a 5% right off the bat. An additional 520 tenacity is like 2% increase.
