The "tenacity" Problem (other melds aswell)

[Rithy255]

Tenacity provides less dps than Determination and will always be worse because of this, the game is DPS focused and therefore anything that dos not increases your DPS is bad.

See Piety, it gives you 0 dps, that makes it a worthless stat, Skillspeed and Spellspeed is also debatable, because it does not reduce the cooldown of Talents and is useless for most jobs because it disrupts your rotation.

I'm not here to argue if Defensive value vs offensive value which one is better in the highest end of duties in speed kills. Offensive value will win out. Offensive value has been consistently better usually in all content; then again people would bring BLM over SMN all the time if that was the case... Theirs still some instances of utility and mobility beating out damage "meta" wise.

But I find it untrue that DPS is always the best stat in every situation as theirs benefits for defensive value in progression runs at least their used to be when tanks had different values (such as DRK/WAR being powerhouse MT options in SHB). Sure currently offensive stats have become the best in every sort of content but that's because of how absurdly tanky every tank is currently.

Tenacity even if not a non meta stat shouldn't be in the state it currently is and should provide benefits (even if crit/Dh is better "meta wise") Even if you just added flat damage to the stat that would be pointless as currently thats what every other stat does lol.
