    in fact, the 4-5% extra mitigation has saved lots of runs I've been in. Am I wrong for focusing on Defense? No. Are you wrong for focusing on Offense? No, because we just have different standards/playstyles. And that's chill, as long as we don't try to impose them on others.
    This is a really bad example. DPS players obviously don't build defensively because slotting tenacity on dps would severely gimp the role they function as, The same thing applies to tanks. You building only tenacity and determination is not doing anyone any favors. The only purpose it serves is to slow down every group that has to deal with you as a tank. It's pretty obvious that you don't do content above DF, no one in their sane mind would take a tank that slots ten/det to any EX trial or Savage Raid and for some odd reason wants to intentionally gimp themselves under the guise of "Muh Playstyle". If you honestly enjoy playing like this then go for it, but don't be surprised when you get constantly VTK'd from groups.

    Substats really don't matter much outside of bleeding edge content/min-maxing potential, but that still doesn't mean tenacity is something you should go out of your way to stat for because it's not going to change healer decision making at all (meaning it is effectively doing nothing).
