kiirc Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Ok so i hit level 50 and did shield spec 31/8/2 build off of Aeons guides and for some pve its great until you hit HM FP. So my question is is there a build where i can still do the tanking job in PVE and be decent for surviability for PVP. I love the tank play style so i would like to keep that but be able to do alittle damge to.

VragonBral Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The build you have will work in PvP. And it probably would have slightly higher survivability then most builds because of the extra shield chance. Something I suggest is checking out Taugrims guide HERE: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=244885 And maybe asking him some questions. He has some really good info. In my opinion, I would prefer the Iron Fist talent setup for both PvE and PvP. So even the flat 20% shield chance is good if you have tanking gear on with Shield Rating and Absorbtion. And then for PvP you just switch to PvP styled gear to deal more damage/utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
origional Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 31 is way to much for pvp. It doesnt give you a great deal extra survivability and hurts you a bit in melee range. I prefer just 21 in shield spec, the 'ironfist' spec has 25, but I used the extra 4 points to improve the gut ability. 21/18/2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
