Is Tenacity still a dead stat?

[Arsthan]

Another consideration is that self-heals from things like Soul Eater are no longer based on damage done and are now straight potency based cures, so now things like crit, direct hit and det no longer boost self-healing while it looks like Ten does. Probably still a minor defensive/sustain boost but it does make it a little better for prog.

The potency heals on GNB, WAR and DRK are totally separate effects from the skill itself - while yes, they're not affected by the damage dealt anymore(meaning crits+direct hits would be more healing), they became pure potency heals, like you'd see on a healer for example. They definitely can crit, but the damage of the skill doesn't need to be a crit as well since it's separate. Basicly, Crit is king pretty much.

As for Tenacity, it's a prog stat. It was used to progging Ultimate for example. It has its uses, just not for achieving best DPS.
