and someone is feeling neglected.
Poor Baby.
Perhaps he needs a dark side cookie?
...Or maybe Cookies is the reason he has a sandy ******?
.. Just an observation.

Im not at all asking "what to wear".
If you would have read, my question is stated at the bottom.
what im asking is: Is there a real "debuff", (other than white damage only hitting), what is it, and why isnt it stated as a Pvp debuff when your gearing your tank?
If you dont have anything useful to say ****.

I completely understand where you're coming from, but is this necessary just because he said hello?
Seem's more like a dick move to me.

Hi,
Im sorry for the long post, but this has for some time plagued me, and Im hoping a Dev/Mod will see this and be kind enough to address my conundrum.
In the last 5 months I have fully leveled an assassin Tank to 50, this being my 3rd 50, and first Tank.
Ive read more "guides" than I can count and have fully read up on the class. In all of my reading though I have come across some very interesting things about tank PvP.
Along my travels I have come across many opinions that the "tanking gear" is useless for PvP, and that any toon wanting to be "tanky" should use their skill tree for tanking abilities and gear into Dps gear, and stack defence for maximum numbers.
Their reasoning for this is that they claim Absorption and Shield do nothing. There's even sites that say that there is a 70% debuff on Shield and Absorption, going into Pvp.
Like I said, Ive read a lot of threads and the like, but never have I read OFFICIALLY from SWTOR that this is true, or false.
That being said, I started thinking about why I chose the Assassin in the first place. I wanted stealth, with the tanking option. I wanted to be able to be fairly undetectable and know that If left guarding any post in game, that I would be able to hold my own until my team mates could help me out. First and foremost though I wanted to protect my healer, and the others on my team. Thus creating the conundrum of Gearing.
Ive gone mostly Survivor WH, for the 4 set bonus, but I wanted to know what im doing If I intend to go any further. If I cant stack shield//absorption then what is the point of shielding a person. Your shield then projects the little damage that it takes, back to you, and with no absorption, if your getting hit on my 2 guys, and another is hitting the person your guarding, your going to go down pretty fast. Not to mention if you throw out your mass taunts and are migating damage for other players as well. Yes you get more damage with the Dps gear but your squishy if your trying to tank as well. Coming from a objective player, I dont care about numbers. I dont care about damage. I care about migating damage away from my team so we can all do our part in playing the objective. I care about holding a turret/console and having survivability enough that its harder for them to kill me than it is to kill a dps class in the same situation. So in these regards, why debuff the tank from being able to do the job its supposed to be doing? Also If this is true, why isnt there a VISIBLE debuff, so the tank is shown that their stats are reduced?
On the other side, all those people could be smoking to much weed and there really is no debuff. Which is exactly what I thought when I realized that upper PvP tanking gear is stacked with Shield and Absorption. Why would SWTOR put those stats on gear if they dont do you any good to begin with? I remember times in the early stages of the game where I would take my 50 Dps and go to a turret to solo cap and be hit with a brink wall. There was no possible way that I would be able to break the tank down with enough time to cap successfully before reinforcements arrived. Where as in a pug group you dont always have a tank guarding and in the same situation against a equal dps taking a turret was easy and the eventual 3 cap was laughable. Now, I kill "tanks" just as easily as I would their Dps counterpart. Obviously something in game has changed.
I had opened up a ticket, requesting the simple answer of "does this debuff exist?" and I was met with an email 2 says later saying "thank you for your impressions and ideas, and we can assure you our Dev team is always interested in receiving constructive feedback from our players." And then I was told to Post this on the forums. Two things bothered me about this. Firstly, I never gave "impressions", "ideas" or "constructive feedback". I merely asked a simple question. Secondly, Ive already read a ton of crap online of players thinking they're right, or cookie cutter sites stating "this is how you should be specked or your doing it wrong".
I dont want this to be another forum getting tons of replies from players, debating gear and aptitude.
I would just like a simple answer from a Mod or Dev or someone official whom I can trust will give me the official answer.
Is there such thing as a "debuff" in PvP in regards to Shield and Absorption stats? and if so what is it?
Like I said above, this idea has plagued me for a while now and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

LOL you're advertising that?
Things this confirms:
1. You're 12.
2. You're terrible.
3. You need a reality check.
4. You need to go back to whatever server you came from.
And...
5. ... Did I say you're bad?
