ArzhAngel Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I am thinking what will be the best stats to go for between or do i mix them(And why?), now that I am a powertech ? - Defense Rating - Absorption Reting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xight Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Defense Rating for pvp, Absorb + Shield for pve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningMusume Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 For PvE take a look at my spreadsheet in my signature. For PvP Expertise, as most of the attacks from players ignore defense/shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArzhAngel Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Then why not only Abs rating and shield rating all the way, what will I lose from not having defense rating, i am thinking both pvp and pve in the sama armor set ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningMusume Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 In PvP, Defense and Shield/Absorb only work with Weapon Damage type skills. Sorc never use WD skills. Operative/BH/Assassin almost never use WD skills (like 10% of their dmg) Sniper/Jugg/Marauder use many WD skills (50%+ I think) So having Defense/Shield/Absorb in PvP does almost nothing against 60% of the classes.

So for pvp only End basicly works ? I realy hope they fix that :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainsawsamurai Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Armor works fine. A lot of attacks are Kinetic or Energy, even most Sorc/Sage force attacks are mitigated by armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asavrede Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 For PvE take a look at my spreadsheet in my signature. For PvP Expertise, as most of the attacks from players ignore defense/shields. The formula for shield rating seems to be wrong somehow - or it's missing account for something cos it's 6% too low in the damage mitigation section.
