With your suggestion, we'd cause a lot of players to quit.
You are purposely jumping to the most absurd possible interpretation. Stop.

One more time.

We. Are. Talking. About. Tenacity vs direct hit.

If your only criticism of my suggestion is that it's a slippery slope, you are purposely trying to be antagonistic.

I never argued for any of the following:
  • Remove crit from tanks.
  • Remove det from tanks.
  • Remove skill speed from tanks.
  • Tanks should only meld tenacity

I said:
  • If tanks were not allowed to meld dhit, then Tenacity would be evaluated based on its own merit rather than on its deficiency compared to dhit,
  • or it would be evaluated based on its deficiency compared to determination,
  • and they would choose whichever increased their DPS more
  • Tanks are only ignoring the one stat intended for them because they are allowed to meld the DD-only stat and benefit from it.
  • If tenacity is still not worth melding after dhit becomes a DD-only stat, then fix tenacity.
