Finrok Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 What augments are best to use when leveling as tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATango Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 That's a tough one to answer. Aim for threat generation. Endurance for more hp. Shield Rating, Absorption Rating and Defense Rating for damage mitigation. This will more come down to your preference. I like Shield and Absorption.

HeavensTerror Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) I'm wondering this too. I currently have the following augments: 2 Shield Rating 1 Shield Absorption 1 Defense Rating Thinking about just stacking Aim/Endurance because my Aim is pitiful low with Supercommando gear and the shield isn't that great in PvP. Any advice? Edited June 22, 2012 by HeavensTerror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice? For PvP shelf the supercommando gear and use combat tech. The supercommando "tickle" set is good if you're going to be standing next to the healer the whole game babysitting. If you even slightly have the idea of playing an offensive role get the combattech set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_gideon Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I probably wouldn't have spent the money on augments while leveling tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenFry Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I don't recommend levelling up as a tank, and augments shouldn't really be necessary even if you do, but if you are set on it, I'd recommend Aim, Crit Rating, and/or Surge Rating, as those will make it go faster. For endgame augments...I'm about to make a post in this subforum, stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim/crit/surge won't work for a tank at endgame but for leveling I could see it being viable. You would want to go with Shield>absorb>aim(or con) Stack what your tree focuses on man you aren't here to put out 100000k in a warzone, your here to survive the whole match without dying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaiusAudax Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I just use Reflex augments. You really can't go wrong with more Aim and Endurance, no matter what you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosomanic Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Go with shield/absorb for PvE tanking, aim or endurance for PvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
