Thank you for the responses. I'm still pretty new to posting on forums. I had gotten the armor penetration idea from this source: http://www.forcejunkies.com/2011/12/23/the-powertech-compendium/
I don't know how reliable that is, but I'm just throwing it out there.
Since I'm on the topic of accuracy, I have heard that it is necessary to have 5% to hit the regular mobs, but then you need 10% for the bosses in the operations.
How much accuracy do ya'll think that Powertech tanks should have? 5% or 10%?
