Unless you can provide a video showing proof Tenacity is not 200 Tenacity = 1% damage increase, 1% damage mitigation, all your doing is trolling mainly the OP who is asking a legitimate question.

I also tested this myself when Eureka Anemos first showed up. After acquiring the Eureka Anemos Armor with 5 materia slots, i loaded it with Tier 6 Direct Hit and Crit on my PLD. Then i swapped it with Tenacity and Determination. My Damage barely fell but my Mitigation increased by a lot. It made Expert Roullete with randoms so much easier for me and the healer lol.
For the sake of this post. I don't do wall to wall pulls in expert roulette and really despise groups that do pull like that. I am looking to getting into Savage and ultimate groups for content and seeing that DPS checks are far more a thing than anything else really. I am not a true wow refugee in the sense that I have been playing both wow and FFXIV at the same time since 2.0. But I do know I have to adjust raiding mentality for FFXIV vs Wow. Difference being is that WoW has truly lost its luster for me and now that GNB is out and its rotational feel is what I have been looking for in a job and this game is hitting every stride I want in a MMO currently. (one last thing I want is romance options. But There is Fire Emblem and Dragon Age for that.) I want to take FFXIV raiding content more seriously instead of a side thing this time around.
