RamathRS Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I was looking at the mods in the Tionese/Columni Supercommando set for my BH tank. I noticed that most of the Enhancements are extremely heave on Acc with very minimal Absorb. Not to mention a complete lack of Shield or Defense. While I understand that Acc is important to a point, is it really important enough to prioritize so heavily over Sheild/Def? Am I missing something here, or are the Enhancements just not quite as effective as they could be? Should I replace them with my Daily (50) Enhacements of Shield/Abs or the crafted (50) Enhacements Shield/Def? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marb Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 You are correct, and dropping accuracy mods for shield/absorb daily variants is a good plan. I would go as far as to say that accuracy is not required at all for a powertech tank. Its more of a luxury stat, being that it only really affects your rail shot and unload.

SithIntraining Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 No, if you are a Powertech tank using unload, then you are doing it all wrong. And Rapid Shots is only something to use f your heat is above 40%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marb Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Rapid Shots and Unload. It does influence rapid shots yes, but that is not really relevant. And it does affect rail shot. Also, unload is very heat efficient and if your in a situation where the channel wont be reduced by damage, why not use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because odds are if you're tanking something, you're not going to be at ranged, and if you're at ranged, you'd be doing more damage with other abilities or using rapid shots to reduce heat. Personally, I used to use Unload, situationally, found it to be no good without any accuracy, and removed it from my rotation. I find that powertechs who are using unload as part of their tanking rotation are not very successful. If it's a means to close the gap, then I guess why not, but for threat, you're way better off using a grapple, jet charge, taunt combo to start.

Marb Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Heat is high, rail shot, flamethrower and death from above are on cooldown, you have full heat screen buff up and the mob is debuffed. Would it be better to use just another flame burst and rapid shots or try to get off an unload? I suppose I don't like the idea of taking it off my hotbar completely, the damage it can do is nothing to scoff at. It also gives you somthing to do when, for whatever reason, your stuck at range. Of course I'm not saying it should be used in your ability priority, but its not useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
