Serrac Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Title says it all, wondering what/if anyone has run IF and done early end game tanking or if its safer/wiser to go straight tank for the PVE content and respec for PVP. Input appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brittaany_Banks Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Title says it all, wondering what/if anyone has run IF and done early end game tanking or if its safer/wiser to go straight tank for the PVE content and respec for PVP. Input appreciated! Please re-word that. I am not sure what you are asking. Are you asking if it is easier to gear for PvE than PvP? Or are you asking if it is just fine to tank iron fist wearing PvP gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serrac Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Not so much gear wise, since I'd use tank gear for PVE and dps gear for PVP anyways. I'm strictly asking about the spec's viability tanking beginning endgame content PVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakoHawk Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Well straight tank is better for sure, but it mainly depends if you have good healers. Ive tanked hm ops in my tactics spec before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATango Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) IF doesn't use any abilities in Tier 6 of the SS tree which are tanking stats. There are abilities like the root to harpoon and stealth scan that you don't need while tanking. In other words, IF can be used for tanking, it's not the most efficient way to do it. If you PvP and PvE tank then it's probably the best compromise you can go with, without having to spend for respecs every time. But I don't think many healers will like you though if they find out you have not taken all damage mitigation talents and are making them work harder for your convenience. In all honesty, I wouldn't. If you want to tank run the appropriate spec for it. Edited June 5, 2012 by ATango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
