They then reverted the change after alot of backlash. Then they nerfed it AGAIN for some reason. And finally, SB rolls up, reverts the change for a 3rd time and they make it so tanks CANT wear DPS jewels at all. Creating Tenacity as the "compromise". Unfortunately, I hear Tenacity is a worthless stat.
Tenacity pretty much is useless for the most part, save for a select few scenarios that really wouldn't be applicable to the playerbase as a whole. Tanks can put on DPS jewels i.e STR, DH, and Crit. As my prior post said, WARs should generally meld for Crit, PLDs should go for DH, and DRK lean towards Crit melds. Unless your talking about other materia, which would be useless for physical based jobs save for a couple of materia.
