Assaultrooper Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 So just wanted to know... Can you shield tech/force attacks? What is the best Tank PvP stat. In my PT I have made a point to stack absorbtion but Ive read its pretty useless?
dynamitepop Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Pretty much useless. Expertise is our ( and everyone else's) best mitigation followed by Armor and a large health pool. Most attacks can't be shielded and those that can bypass our shields and defense ( dodge chance ) if they crit. So not much defense against those. As a tank start to think of yourself as a reserve health pool for a healer and guard him, 'cause as a true tank spec ( not pvp hybrid ) with horrible dps and no real tank mitigation that's all you are.
Assaultrooper Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks it felt that way since I tried out pyrotech... Was thinking I was doing something wrong, oh well back to pyro
Auhfel Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 For my Jugg, I'm only aware of Sabre Ward that specifically reduces force/tech by like 25% or so for it's duration. As far as gearing against such, I suppose expertise and health would be it. You have abilities that mitigate damage, though.
