Please Buff Tenacity So Tanks Actually Want To Use Tank Stance

Sorry to burst your bubble but you don’t remember ARR WAR.

2.0: stacks gave 2% healing received increase
2.1: statcks gave 2% crit rate
3.0: wrath gave 2% parry, abandon gave 2% crits

And all combo moves except Heavy Swing gave stacks. It took 2.5 combos to get to 5.

Unchained required 5 stacks until they reduced it to 2 in 4.0 and now 0 since 4.01.

Stanceless average potency was 206.6/gcd (SE>BB)
Defiance average potency without unchained and infuriate was 172.5/gcd (SE>BB + IB every 5 stacks)
That’s ~18% dps reduction. Now, add the increased crit, unchained uptime and extra IB from infuriate and you mostly get 10-15% net dps reduction.

Defiance WAR was a very close to stanceless WAR in ARR.

Nope, i don't remember ARR war: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/m...er&oldid=44422

Wrath did give a 2% crit up https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/m...or&oldid=39062
Then it did give a 2% parry up https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/m...or&oldid=98519

I probably forgot about the crit rate because I was NEVER in Defiance when running OT and was only in Defiance+Unchained for pulls and busters.

Maim didn't give wrath, only vengeance, storm's path and storm's eye - so it took 5 path/eye combos or 4+vengenace so the potency calculations for unstanced wars still stand
