Piety has its place because as long as you're alive it's always working where as tenacity rates are both bad and it doesn't work unless you're taking damage.

I don't have any issues with MP regen or not being able to 'tank' new content.
That's nice, not everyone can do that.

New fights = new timings you basically just said gitgud.

I guess we don't want to prog and see mechanics anyway since we're just going to wipe to enrage since we're so shit.

If you're hard casting a raise... someone messed up badly, and the whole party will lose DPS regardless of how much mp you have.

But this is coming from someone at end game, not actively leveling.
Pugs are pugs.

All in all I think you've either never done content when it was relevant before guides came out or you're more a of a green/blue dps. I understand not liking tenacity because it's essentially useless but knocking piety like that when it has its place? I don't think you're looking at the whole picture nor do you understand the relevance of prog based on how you're talking about not ressing people if you can't make a dps check.
