Nydar Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#801hRGbb0bZrsMrobckZb.1 So, i was toying with the idea of this spec, my thought was to get some mobility and increased dps while still having some toughness and guard. I am sure if this was any good someone would have tried it already, just wanted to see what peeps thought. is this viable at all? I was also considering something like this; Tactics spec while using tank cylinder. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#801hRGZrsrro0fkzcZb.1 Edited May 2, 2012 by Nydar oops title was wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsie Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) The whole point of going into Shield is to get one of two things: 1. Storm (along with the other pvp talents) 2. Enough mitigation abilities to offset the extra damage you'll be taking by guarding and taunting all the time. As it stands, you get neither of these from the first spec you linked (and you even skipped on Defensive Measures, which gives you an extra stun - a Godsend in pvp). Basically you get none of the strengths of either spec and all of the weaknesses. Not a viable choice. I don't know enough about Tactics to speculate on the second spec you linked, but at least you were smart enough to skip the talents that rely on HEC to get higher in the tree. If I had to guess though, you'd probably lose out on a lot of your dps by not using the tree the way it's meant to due to loss of mobility/ammo regen.
