Hey, all.
I recently hit level 80 on Paladin, and am working on my gear. I should point out that I am by no means a raid tank. Healer and DPS, sure, I've been progging Savage with my guild as a Red Mage and Astrologian. But Tanking, I only do dungeons and the occasional trial. So, optimizing my DPS isn't really as much a concern for me as just being a solid tank and not dying. And I also know that, if I have a good healer and I use my cooldowns, it doesn't matter if I'm more squishy, but let's discount that view for a moment. Again, I'm only tanking casually, or to help out other players who haven't reached the endgame yet, and maybe have more to learn as a healer.
I originally slotted a bunch of Tenacity materia, since I had read it was good for those who play tank with the intent that I do. However, some of my guildmates told me that with how the scaling works now, tenacity is pretty much useless, and like every single other class, Crit is King. Wanted to see how some others felt about it. Am I wasting my materia slots by using Tenacity?
