Burgdawg Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Just wondering if, in my fellow pvp powertech's opinion, if Oil Slick is worth picking up for a full tank spec. Also, if you could post your individual tank specs that'd be helpful. I'll try to post my spec this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marb Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Your better off going full dps spec honestly, your not going to be much help to anyone in 50 pvp as a full tank specced powertech. Oil slick in pvp is extremely specialised in who it would effect, as in specific ac's of specific classes, and even then its not a big deal for them.

Agreed, with such a significant portion of PVP damage being force/tech based, PVP tanking is too heavily dependant on cooldowns, and as powertechs, we only have energy shield. Oil slick is nice, significant accuracy penalty, aoe and helps even if they attack someone else, but powertech tanks in general are not worth it so I wouldn't recommend it. Basically, if you do go for PVP tanking, pick it up, but you shouldn't go for PVP tanking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgdawg Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 I understand how unappealing pvp tanking can be. However, in my experience a pt tank can be a huge annoyance to the other team. Charging into crowds, free flame sweep for damage debuff, rocket punch into a rail shot that spreads ion charge to 3 targets. The heat screen from flame burst (which I understand is changing 2.0). And, as with all tanks, you can guard a healer. I think it can be viable in the right hands... just takes a little know-how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
