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

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.

Doesn't take a genius which one is better for a class that takes the most damage and is expected to survive hard hitting moves.

If i queue up as a Healer on Expert Roullete and i see a Tank with DH meld on i just get my finger on top of the Adlo button already. If its Tenacity/Det/Crit then my finger is going to be on the Art of War button. If its no melds at all i just unpause youtube on my 2nd screen.
