Why do tanks need Determination stat still when they have Tenacity?

[Snarky_Sunseeker]

Passively the Paladin is the most durable tank, but active mitigation is what matters, and it falls behind just a tad there, but makes up for this through Intervention and Cover. The Paladin effectively grants other Tanks additional mitigation cooldowns.

Thanks for the reply. To be honest, this seems more of a "six of one, half a dozen of the other" kind of thing to me.

Each jobs respective kit, upon closer examination, seems to have its own benefits and drawbacks. I'll agree that the gap is not really significant, but disagree that PLD is at any meaningful disadvantage with mitigation.

I also speak from the perspective of being the MT 95% of the time and not being an Intervention/Cover dispenser for WARs or DRKs. ^^ In content that requires tank swaps, sure. I'll throw an Intervention on you before a TB and maybe even a Reprisal on the boss, time permitting, but I consider it more of a professional courtesy than an absolute rule.
