Tank Mitigation vs Tank DPS.

[RareItems]

Check the number of materia slots on the new i460 and i470 belts and accessories. In order for raid/tomestone accessories not to be inferior to crafted they now have 2 materia slots. 380 + 12*2*60=1820. And if you meld only Direct Hit into Crafted you can hit 2860.

Oh nice, did not see that.

Still doesn't change the fact that Tenacity > Direct Hit for tanks unless for some reason you really need that extra dps to meet DPS checks.

If you raid, its safer to put Direct Hit on your melds, just so the other 7 would not give you a hard time about it.

If you don't raid, then Tenacity is better since Survivability is more important than you outdpsing the DPS.
