So I hit 50 a couple of days, got my ilum armor and hilt mods, and the enhancement and mods from the corellia commendation vendor. Always bought the hands for 10 comm. and put the stuff I needed out of there. My stats are currently: HP: 15930 dmg reduction 44,1 % defense: 22,3 % + the additional 6% after riposte, so 28,3 infight. shiled chance: 39,3% absorption: 22 % accuracy: 96 % So I heard that 8 man eternity vault is easier than most hardmodes. How do you gear up after getting everything out of the world commendation traders? Do you hit the easier HMs and 8 man ev on normal? Or should you go for all HMs before entering ev?
