Is Tenacity working as intended?

[Awful]

What people are doing now is taking their old i270 accessories that are Slaying and using them now I wish we had the old system where Vit gave us damage. Tenacity is bad and we're back in the Str tanking meta focus again so who knows how this'll end why do they mess around with tank stats so much and deliver them so poor i'll never understand.

tenacity is the new parry. just ignore it like the plague. looks like crit det and sks are the way to go. nothing changed
even especially that melded str acc from last patch were bis. man look at 3.0 happeneing again. i guess well go back to str/vit split in 4.2 because tanks are dealing too much damage apparently and dont have super health points

I think this is bugged, it does not make sense that they would add this in this state since it was to get rid of parry and be beneficial stat that is unique to tanks etc. Going crit/det and dh seems to be the way now. I put some ten on my gear and ya it made no difference that was noticeably

Well, I submitted a bug report, we'll find out soon.

According to this

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...talk_tenacity/

"Fast Blade Average Before Tenacity - 1048.52
Fast Blade Average After Tenacity - 1052.88

That's a WHOPPING .414% Damage increase, 2.66% Increase with 1750 Tenacity

Clemency Average Before Tenacity - 7134.96
Clemency Average After Tenacity - 7183.36

Oh baby, .673% Heal increase on clemency, 4.32% increase with 1750 Tenacity

Stone Hit Average Before Tenacity - 1795.60
Stone Hit Average After Tenacity - 1785.88

a .541% Damage decrease over 216 Tenacity. 3.47% increase with 1750 Tenacity."


The gains are EXTREMELY small. So low it has no effect on anything. Is it supposed to be like this? It doesn't even sound worth melding with such low returns.

The scaling seems to be very poor indeed. Not sure why they even bother with such small impact from huge amounts of tenacity. If this is meant to be the tanking Stat, then stacking or not should have a truly apparent impact on our performance, otherwise it's a pointless statistic - just like parry.

And the sad thing is they are putting it all over our equipment.

Just like parry...

Welp, they moved it to Insufficient Information. I dunno how much more they want, so does someone else want to take a stab at it?

You gave no world, no character, no class, no level, no specification on party, solo, or both, no location.

But that's completely irrelev-
*sigh*
It's like being in the DMV. Alright, since nobody else is going to do it, I'll try again.

Most people don't bother with bug reports largely because it's worse than the DMV. Every last stupid detail needs to be filled in, down to the information about what sort of computer or console you're using and everything plugged into them, to not run the risk of getting dumped off into insufficient information. It's just stats, so just character information should be fine but you never know.

Lipstick on a pig. SE excels at that "solution" to their problems.
