Tenacity buff suggestion

[Absimiliard]

Honestly as things stand the only way tenacity would be worthwhile is if the damage reduction got high enough that healers could get X% more glares in since healer damage is higher than tank damage to the point that tanks self healing so healers can dps more is a net gain already but players are greedy as hell and the concept of "if i stack enough tenacity the white mage can do 20% more dps while also increasing my own dps a little" would just be completely ignored

It isn't about greed. The amount of tenacity you would have to stack to reach that point may not even be mathematically possible at this time.

its not possible. Tenacity's damage reduction does not scale that high. This also ignore the fact that most fights encourage tank swapping so half the fight your tenacity is doing literally nothing while the other guy gets hit. This is ALSO ignoring the fact that a lot of healers healing is also raid damage and other non-tank mechanics that arent affected by tenacity. Good healers have always been able to heal almost entirely through OGCDs in savage content. There is no amount of tenacity short of invulnerability that will make any noticable dent in a healers healing GCDs over a fight.

People like to think that a tenacity tank makes a big difference to healers, but it just doesnt. the scaling is quite low, and even moreso this early in the expac, try again in 5.4+ to have a prayer. And all the points above. Tenacity wont reduce the healing from raid aoes, non-MT mechanics, or when OT, or when healers arent using single target GCDs much in the 1st place. Damage stats help all the time.
