Tenacity proven better? (BiS for tanks?) Gear Stat Calc

[aleph_null]

Assuming there isn't a plateau somewhere between now and then. I don't know, I'm not avoiding tenacity, but I am melding direct hit. I'd glady drop tenacity to get my skill speed back up (went from 2.42 to 2.39 now back to 2.43 after upgrades ._.), maybe skill speed isn't technically as valuable but in situations like that I'm placing a higher value than tenacity.

And I don't understand.. If the "tenacity set" is only 300 more tenacity than the "direct hit set" why tf is this even a discussion lol (just doesn't seem like enough difference to even begin claiming one is better than the other)

Because some people only look at the extremes. Just because I don't create my build by maximizing tenacity doesn't mean I'm avoiding it. For example if I craft a set maximizing det while melding dh I might get somewhere around 1.2-1.5k. As of now we don't even know what the best set is, dps wise (unless you write a program to go through the millions of gear/meld combinations and check them one by one), so making a set minimizing tenacity just for the sake of avoiding it is stupid.

I know it's slighty more nuanced than that but still not to the point where it'd make a big difference.
It's pretty pointless to discredit my non-Tenacity set because of it not being the "ultimate" Dps BiS which by your own word "we don't know yet".
It was an example to showcase the scale of variance we're talking about between DH and Tenacity.
But if you have a BiS set with a perfect balance of stats that give 5% more DPS over a full Tenacity build, please share it. I'd definitely go for that one.

I was more curious in why you'd put "avoiding tenacity" as the priority for your dps oriented set. It's not parry that's literally 0 dps, it scales worse than other dps stats but not by much. I don't know, but for me it makes much more sense to prioritize maximizing the good stats (like det for example, which looks to be better than crit/sks/ten) before avoiding the slightly worse stats. No offense but it looks like you're just cherry picking the sets to inflate the extra mitigation the tenacity set offers.
