Folan Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) I started out as AP up until level 25 or so, it was alright. I much preferred pyro for leveling and PvP, the railshot procs are very very strong. Once i hit 35, i changed to shield tech, i can solo champions now. As far as i've seen, they are all very viable, try them out for yourself and see what you like. EDIT: being shield spec gives you tons of medals in PvP, spam your gaurd/taunts and peel/pin enemies for your allies. Your damage output is still quite good, you just don't die often.

Trungalung Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I would suggest leveling as Shield Tech with Mako out at early level. Since the other trees don't get their core talent til later, so the difference is negligible. You can stay Shield Tech all the way to 40, but by then the mobs already scale above your petty damage and you should switch over to AP/Pyro if you want faster leveling.

Virindi_UO Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Go shield tech. Your dps will start to suck noticably around 28, but then you get Gault and just kite hard mobs/elites while he blows them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJawaPhD Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) I like shield tech spec with Mako companion at all times. Killing stuff is pretty slow but you can solo just about anything (even 2 man heroic quests). And really even leveling with a fully tank spec I find that the painful time waster is all the ridiculous travel time, not the time spent in combat killing things somewhat slowly edit: about stat priorities, as a shield tech I go with endurance > shield/defense/absorption rating > aim > everything else, and I still don't waste nearly as much time on killing mobs as I do on traveling around Edited January 3, 2012 by DrJawaPhD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
