Thanks for the quick response, as I thought the post went to the second page within a minute or two of posting due to all the haters. Between the daily pvp and pve quest there seems to be plenty to do while I wait for a a few friends to hit 50. with only 3 hours a night I guess I need to decide if the pve gear or pvp gear is worth going for first. Any recommendations, I do enjoy both pvp and pve equally.

Hopefully this post doesn't get buried in a bunch of hate threads before someone can answer. I just hit 50 last night and had a few questions in regards to gear, bags, and dailies. So I had enough commendations to buy two Champ bags when I hit 50 last night. Now I know the bags vary based on RGN, but what should I be finding or hoping for in the bags? What is common to see? The two bags I opened both had 3 Centurion Commendations in them. Pretty lame but I am guessing I got the bottom of the barrel on the RGN. Oh well, commendations (wz, merc) don't take that long to aquire. What dailies available at 50, with regards to pvp, and what are their rewards? I saw a guide somewhere but after searching for a bit I couldn't find it again. Please refrain from posting unconstructive, "unsub now" replies. I am sure there are fresh 50's with the same questions, that are still immensely enjoying the game as I am.

Truant, do you know what thos dr's are by chance on shield, absorb, and defense, or anyone else? Also when looking at the char screen is it percent we are looking at or a rating number?

Thanks, that was pretty much what I was thinking. Wasn't stressing it just wanted to make sure I was headed in the right direction. Another question. As a tank should I be gearing out Mako. I like the synergy as a tank with a healing companion. We are slow but indestructible. Or is there a better companion to go with the ST.

As the title says I am looking for a little condensed info for ST in the mid 30's. I will admit off the bat that i am not good at theory crafting, and I have read the stickies and a lot of the posts in here but I just have a few questions. To start off I am leveling through quests and pvp and I do the new flash points every few lvls with my brothers. I also have an article crafter so I can stay up on the latest enhancements and that leads to my first question. I have access to the top enhancements at each level so what tanks stats should I be aiming for now? Should I just go for a mix of shield, absorb, and defense at this level and then try and iron it out better at 50? If there is a certain stat I should try and max at this lvl what would it be? At 50 what is the stat order? And what are the DRs where I should stop the stat and work on the other. For example should I reach a certain shield rating then move onto absorb? Then what absorb rating should I stop at and work on defense? I could have the order wrong but you get the idea. Sorry for the wall of text but I am sure there are others that have the same question that have troubles understanding the crazy equations some great theory crafting minds have come up with. Ps. I am going with the cookie cutter ST spec.
