Tenacity buff suggestion

[Cabalabob]

That about sums it up, yeah. Making tenacity an appealing stat will require either making enemies hit so much harder that we need it just to stay alive, in which case they screw everyone else over, or adding a damage component to it.

And what’s wrong with adding a damage component to it? Calling it broken is just silly, it’s far more broken that we are taking a dps stat as our best meld over the tank exclusive stat. If the stat isn’t desirable to the job it is designed for then it should be redesigned. If direct hit is what tanks want then it should give direct hit. It’s pretty simple logic.

Would we more likely meld crit? Yeah, everyone loves crit. Det? Not so much, direct hit is a much bigger dps increase over det even if it granted less direct hit chance per point, that would be made up for by the fact we’d get so much of it naturally on our armour.

So would tenacity overshadow det? Probably. But the fact is you only really have space to prioritise 2 stats, the one that’s capped on your gear and then the best stat after that. Why not have that best stat be tenacity over determination on the jobs tenacity is designed for? (Not to mention WAR would still prefer determination because of its skill set).
