It reduces damage to you based on the level of the ring and your current missing HP. The effect is mediocre unless either: the ring is high level (5 or 6+) or you're missing a lot of HP. Even then you need the ring at +8 if you want ~50% damage reduction at 50% HP. Compared to just about any other option upgrading tenacity is a poor choice.
But even with upgrades and at low health, it will never reduce damage under 1 hp, so you'll always take damage... Which isn't a good combo when at 1 hp. That's why this ring is a very bad idea. Unless you are going with Faith Is My Armor, you could just do yourself a favor and dump those upgrades into your armor; which will reduce the damage that you take to 0 hp; and you can stay at high levels of health for your armor to be effective.
Yeah, I think we're saying the same thing here. The loss of other utility just doesn't make upgrade dumping tenacity very worthwhile and at the levels you're most likely to encounter the effect without dumping it's just not good enough to justify using when you can slot literally anything else.
I guess it could be fun on the right kind of berserker build but that's about all I can come up with.
