Tank Mitigation vs Tank DPS.

[RareItems]

Tenacity = 33 per 0.1% DPS, HPS, and Damage Reduction

Direct Hit = 6 per 0.1% chance / 24 per 0.1% DPS Gain

8646.41 Tenacity will give you 26.2% DPS gain, Damage Mitigation and Damage Reduction.

You can't even get to 8646.41 Tenacity. The highest Tenacity you can get is 3214 which is when you Pentameld the new ilvl450 crafted Fending gear. 3214 Tenacity gives you 9.7% Damage Increase, Damage Mitigation and HPS.

If a tank melded only Direct Hit on the ilvl450 Crafted gear, he could reach 2780 Direct Hit meaning he would gain a 46.3% chance to deal 11.5% Damage increase.

The fact that Direct hit doesn't even give you a 50% chance to deal its 11.5% damage increase while Tenacity gives 9.7% damage increase/Dmg Mitiagation and HPS 100% of the time, makes Tenacity better.


46.3% chance of dealing 11.5% more damage vs 100 chance of dealing 9.7% damage increase / Damage Mitigation / Self healing + Crit/Skillspeed/Det.
