was out riding the other day and my back tire sliped off a rock I was riding over and I landed hard on on my bottom chainstay and ended up with a just short of 1/8 inch deep dent and some pretty good paint scrapes- Is it worth replacing the chain stay? My bike is a 2010 Enduro, and there are definately no cracks

If it bothers you, yes, but if its mechanically fine, leave it

I'd keep riding it. My frame has a dent about the same size (from the sounds of it) on the bottom driveside chainstay. I've been riding it for over a year since. It hasn't been a problem, and I doubt it will be.
