Advice for a new Warrior and Materia?

[Rayne6665]

The reason why tanks avoid Tenacity is because incoming damage is quite low in this game and tanks have plenty of skills to mitigate it. It's better to just kill the enemy faster by going for more DPS stats. Tenacity does increase damage dealt, but not by much as other stats.

However, unlike the other 3 tanks, Warriors value Tenacity slightly higher than Direct Hit due to having a number of skills give or have a 100% chance to Direct Crit (crit also increases the damage dealt by crits so it's still good).

Assuming you're only gearing for warrior and not share gear with other tanks, you'll want to value Crit > Det > Ten. Skill speed isn't really needed for Warriors.

What if my other tanks shared the same gear wise? (Half of Lv90 augmented green gears and half of lv90 radiant tome gear) i mostly play warrior as well but sometimes i switch it up with my other lv90 tanks to play. Do i have to re-meld the materias? XD I think i meld materias wrong for my warrior >_< i went with DH and DET lol

If you aren't doing ultimate or early savage raiding, then it really doesn't matter.

If you have all tanks then you unfortunately need to decide which to prioritize. Do you want the better melds for GnB, PLD and DrK or the better melds for Warrior?
Because all other tanks need a certain amount of skill speed to make their rotations align properly and then go for Crit -> Direct Hit -> Determination -> Tenacity.

Direct Hit and Determination are very close in terms of how much dps you gain from them on paper, the reason Direct Hit is usually valued higher on all tanks except warrior is that it doesn't exist on tank gear naturally and going from 0% chance to get an extra 25% damage to currently roughly 13% chance is preferable to a few flat % more damage.




As Mikey said however, if you're just doing casual content and don't care all that much about your dps then it really doesn't matter. What I would keep in mind for the future is that Critical Hit is by far the most valuable substat (outside of necessary skill speed to make your rotation work) because it increases both your Critical Hit chance and your Critical Damage modifier.
