Tenacity

[Malmstrom]

I'd like to stop being punished for trying to take less damage as a tank.

Thanks.

DRK literally have the best short-CD defensive ability in the game. Use that better

Short burst of offense power too.

You're not being punished. Tenacity is perfectly fine to meld if that is what you like. There isn't a massive dps gap between dhit and tenacity builds, but you will lose a bit a damage for more mitigation. That's just the trade off. Unless you're in world first races, it doesn't matter what you meld anyways.

The bigger heals are compared to HP pools, the worse the defensive value of tenacity is. The actual amount of damage reduction you have to have to alter how healers heal is beyond what tenacity can provide, which means you're better off with one of the other options instead.

Its one of those great ideas that, in practice, doesnt work the way it should.

I like tenacity personally. It might not be BiS by any means but even if the actual mitigation it provides is minute, it makes me feel safer overall since I'm a pretty meh Tank when it comes to CD management. So everything that helps make me tankier is welcome in my book and to hell with everything else. Better then going unmelded, that's for sure.

I wish tenacity wasn't as much of a bad meme as parry.

Ignore em bro. I've melded Tenacity for as long as I can remember and have Tanked Savage and countless EX Primals without any issues at all. There's a lot of poisonous individuals and extremists who play this game, just gonna tune em out
