Tenacity has been buffed

[Kalaam]

Wouldn't it be fun if ennemies could crit as well and tenacity is the stat that reduces the chance of getting critted ? Given the damage variance from crits, you wouldn't have any choice but to make sure you reduce the crit chance to 0 with tenacity ! There problem solved !

You'd think after years of us NOT using the stat at all, they'd have figured out (if it doesnt increase damage, it's a shite stat we're not bothering with). 10 years and they've still no clue about how their playerbase works. Lol.

That would just make it a binary stat like accuracy was, you get exactly enough to not get crit because it's mandatory and then ignore it.

Yeah I know, I was sarcastic.
Honestly I dunno what could be done with it and direct hit

Tenacity is jack of all trade, cannot buff it without make it too OP, so no matter how they buff it, it will alway an inferior version of det anyway, a stats purely for damage, and damage us everything in this game

Would it be a problem if Tenacity was broken as long as it's exclusive to tanks?
We would move from SKS tier > Crit > DH/DET to SKS tier > Crit > Tenacity.

Of course they'd skill have to make DH an ineffective stat for tanks, as long as a 0.1% chance of DH is possible, people will try to exploit it.

Yup, still the same meld priority it seems. Why don't they just get rid of materia at this point? It's the same illusion of choice as talent trees are in other games that try to have "balanced" classes. You don't choose your "build" with materia here, you just look up a guide what to meld, and do that. So what's the point in materia's existence to begin with?

Yes, they need to either rework materia, rework stat priority, or remove materia entirely. It's an illusion of choice that doesn't even act as a gil sink since just a couple tank/healer roulettes and you're flooded with the materia you need.

Well thats the issue isnt it, Materia's options are:
+Damage
+Damage(but worse)
+Damage(even worse)

There's really only one option. The gear upgrades in this game are so boring I don't even know why they're in the game.

Skill/Spell Speed could be an interesting alternative for faster resource generation but the numbers are so minor that it doesnt really even feel like an upgrade.

Unless you overmeld crafted gear at the start of a new raid tier. Hunt trains barely cover all the materia that breaks during pentamelding. It's still a huge gil sink but I agree do away with materia, it's a stupid system.
