saintsmith Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 As a PT tank which tanking stat should I stack more? I was thinking shield and absorption since that is what the shield tech skill tree seems to run off of the vent heat, but I could be wrong. What do you all think?

MorningMusume Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Take a look at my spreadsheet in my signature, and play with the numbers. Is only for Mean Mitigation tought, doesn't help with threat (shield procs are for threat). So many questions about tanking stats on this subforum, and my spreadsheet is always in the 3rd+ page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDeluxeTNT Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Someone (name is ChainsawSamurai iirc) has made tests reveling that our shield and defense don't protect us against force/techno attacks. So defense and shield absorption are not that good, shield index is still useful for the shield procs (for rocket punch and heat venting). Ps: sorry for my english speaking skills too.

MorningMusume Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 In PvP maybe, but on PvE, bosses do a great % of its damage as mitigable damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blobafat Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I'm interested to see where I can get my shield chance to and how that will effect my heat reduction along with survivability. Wondering if you can stack shield rating until a point of never over heating (given a steady proc rate) without becoming all too squishy.

MorningMusume Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Shield will not help much with over heating. The chance has a 6 second cooldown, and is only a 50% chance on shield. Also shield chance has diminishing returns, so you can't really stack it. Even if you get a shield proc every 6 seconds (impossible to achieve) you only gain 8 heat, or 1 extra skill every 12 seconds. As we don't have any great spammable skill you'll probably gain only a tiny bit of damage (unless you also get a Rocket Punch proc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
