Tank Mitigation vs Tank DPS.

Bringing up the cost of materia seems like a joke. It is so easy to get clusters to buy them. Joining a hunt train or being a "Role in Need" for roulettes make it so simple.

Tenacity is a dead stat. Never meld tenacity.

To be fair if you buy the cheap TEN materia, then convert your clusters to DH / Crit and sell those, its still some profit.

Anyways, I see this argument as largely pointless and redundant. If the difference between a DH and TEN meld is indeed like 1-3% dps... it's not a difference margin for people to argue over.

Sure in mathematical terms its clearly superior in pretty much any situation, but the number of times either will make a difference between a wipe and a clear is (in all likelihood) even more insignificant in percentage.

Likewise, 5% mitigation difference looks pretty nice on paper, but makes almost no practical difference due to how healers operate.
