Is Tenacity working as intended?

[Falar]

Direct hit does work, it just is not on the new gear.

When I first started out wearing my 3.xx stuff it was great, I was getting direct hits all over the place.

I believe the 0% because I ahve not seen a single one since going to the new tank gear (which never has direct hit on it).

This leads me to believe Direct Hit does absolutely nothing on Tanks. It also doesn't appear naturally as a secondary stat on Tank gear.

That would make it quite the exception to how stats are handled. Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Mind, Tenacity, and Piety all state who they do and do not work for. Why would Direct Hit be the only one not to?

Guys, it works.

Put on old gear that had accuracy (it got converted to Direct Hit) and fight stuff. Large font, no ! damage numbers means direct hit. Larger yet font and double !! means direct critical hit. Like always, ! for critical.

Scored plenty of both level 60-66 while I was still wearing my i270 stuff.

Don't know why you're replying to me like that, I'm not saying it wouldn't work. I'm pointing out that the stat listing makes it pretty clear it does.

It wasn't at you, I just quoted you adn addressed the naysayers in the thread like the one you responded to. Guess I shouldn't have quoted, but didn't feel like going back to select the same guy you responded to.

Everyone can put on old gear and see it work. To say otherwise is embarrassing, like the threads where people were questioning how our ATK power works now.

Meh! I'm at 1K+ tenacity on my PLD, and my survival rate increased from a defensive perspective. It gives healers more time to dps if they want without worrying about me losing a lot of HP.

I do Tenacity > Determination, but I think I want to put some Direct Hit in there. I'll see when I start buying Verity gear (I have Tomes, but haven't bought anything yet).

How do you know it isn't from the better defense on your gear?

The returns on tenacity have already been posted......they are poor.

Really SE?

Could you be any lazier? don't hype up new stats if they are going to have garbage scaling.

[Valknut]

I want answers for this, le bump. Like most tanks I looked at the stat and said why wouldn't I meld this! Now I regret life!

[Vurtney]

Unfortunately, as posted already, Tenacity scales like crap. Whatever is in my gear is a keeper but i'm definitely not melding for it. Det/crit/str is still the way to go (for us warriors)
