Cobrawastaken Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) I play as Tank in PvE a bit, but also pvp a lot. I was worried about 1.2 coming out and needing to spec out of immortal a bit, but I was wrong. So far this build has been incredible in survivability and the dps is decent (+ all the utility of course). Anybody that plays both PvE and PvP as a jugg and wants to tank should give this a try. Of course in DPS gear for PvP. Edited April 13, 2012 by Cobrawastaken
mistey Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 I'm in exactly the same position as you (PvE and PvP). Can you link ur build?
VexxM Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 I was thinking about this build which is 31/6/4 http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#101GMGzuzrdfzZcMzZMM.1
DawgPoundSwag Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#101hrGzudMdfzZcMMZzM.1 Not much different than your's w/ a few slight adjustments for more rage building and damage spread across all abilities instead of focusing on a few select ones. Tell me what you think
VexxM Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Wonder how much different 3%strength will make compared to an extra 10% on smash and short cool down.

VexxM Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Which talent are you describing? Decimate is only a 2 pointer now. My bad. I thought you only had one point in decimate.
Cobrawastaken Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 I'm in exactly the same position as you (PvE and PvP). Can you link ur build? I'm using this currently: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#101RrGzuzrdfzZcMzZMM.1 But I think that the points in shield spec could be moved.. (could put more in dreadnaught and unleashed - if you do a lot of pvp could be useful)
ExpectWar Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 what off hand do you guys use for pvp? because im switching over to this spec from rage and i was wondering which you guys would prefer?
harmonichonda Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) My build: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#101uRGzudMdfzZcRZMM.1 I pick up 1 and prolly should go on and pick up 2 seeing as I had 7 parries on revan in the encounter. I skip str as I didnt see any upped dmg other than an average of 31 more dmg on sunder when testing so those 3 points I allocated to ravag hits and 1 into accuracy. In the Immortal tree I only put one in the backhand rage reduction so it only costs 2 rage to activate (which every minute if you dont have it you really are doing something funky) and frankly even in pvp 2 rage to stun aint that much. I pick up the 3 pts for reduction in accuracy of enemies because mobs hit you less so you gain tps looks like on my testing and a powertech off tank aint picking up his oil talent so I may as well have it. Works well in pvp groups as a tank as well since we arent there for big #s, but rather to annoy and help take down others while protecting whom we can. I put 1 pt to have the 50% chance of free scream on charge with immortal build. Before with it being only 33 it was still one of those fillers, here I pick it for increased chance and it really does proc pretty frequently surprisingly on many fights and in pvp scenarios. --- I am shocked at how much of a change the immortal heavy is for me coming from 14/27 hybrid for the last few months tanking ops on my guardian My juggy did first HM flashpoint in foundry for a chance at some boots and here are the results, granted I'm sure im not 100% like I was in the hybrid and just didnt have off time to get more comfy. Will be posting continued parses from my build as I get more comfy with it. http://swtor.apphb.com/Combat/Log/a3ff755bfa129f6e31309c1c6f32eccc This is the revan fight In short: Dmg done: ~88k DPS: 438.5 Healed: ~12k Average TPS: 1,513.7 My physical attack Misses: 7 (Parries) Sonic barrier shield procd: 18 times Revenge proced 11 times DMG done to Snake doc: ~77k Boss Parried me 22 times My gear is entry level stuff, still use regular daily mods on most items that I havent gotten tionese or columi for since the reroll to empire and new server.

TheronFett Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 I tank in PvE and PvP on my SW. I use War Leader (tanking) gear, including shield, in PvP w/ a full Immortal spec. I like the utility this spec offers w/ multiple CC on relatively short cooldowns. I spam the heck out of (free) Chilling Scream, keeping the other team snared. Personally, I HATE being slowed, even more than stunned, so it's fun for me to dish it out on everyone else at will. I use taunts whenever I can, and toss Guard around to people who are being focused, or stick by a healer so they can do their job. Damage output is much improved in 1.2, but still meh. But that's fine. Most have an extremely hard time dealing with me and eventually get bored and move on to something else. My main is a DPS BH who rains down the pain, so a SW tank is a nice alternative with a defensive play style.
