You guys are killing me. Yes 800 dmg off a 10k attack isnt a lot. 8% less damage in every dungeon pull I do, is a lot specially as a DRK player.
It's mostly just the 8% boost to defenses isn't enough to circumvent the loss in damage which is not only higher due to how much Tenacity needed to reach that point, but in a game all about damage, it's the only thing that tends to matter by the end of the day, especially for a DRK player. Absurdity gave a good link but you can sniff around the Balance as well since there's a lot of math wizards roaming about. Oblation at least only requires you hit a certain level rather than your limited substat melding anyhow.
