Shield spec leveling: when do I become sustainable?

[Degini]

Hi,

 

I keep hearing that in shield spec you have zero downtime. I notice this already (lvl 20) for health, but my ammo still depletes each fight.

 

Is there a point where you stop running low on ammo? What skill priority would bring this about?

 

Thanks in advance.

Just get used to your upcoming rotations you will be using by getting into the habit of using Hammer Shot in between your use of you other abilities.

I did 1-50 as shield spec and found that I was able to actually play shieldspec around level 25 (maybe a bit after). Hammer Shot is your friend if you're having ammo issues. Have priority on keeping static barrier up and using stock strike/HIB on cooldown without dropping down to a lower ammo regen.

What he said. Rotation is really important at that level.

 

I really started to roll about Lvl 25 as well I think. You get a few more abilities that really help and it really made a big difference when I was able to get a decent blaster and better armor.

 

I also found that at that level I needed to be using stockstrike more than I was.

until you have all your skills use hammer shot every other ability. hammer shot is really underrated.
