Mozivicus Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 This might be a simple question, but I'm new to MMOs. WHich is more important/useful for the shield spec vanguard, aim or endurance? And why? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grievemourn Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Endurance over Aim for more health Tanks also want Absorbtion and Defense That's how I see it, anyway. Edited December 21, 2011 by grievemourn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saridan Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 This might be a simple question, but I'm new to MMOs. WHich is more important/useful for the shield spec vanguard, aim or endurance? And why? Thanks. If you're strictly talking PvE tanking, then it depends on a couple of things. Aim until you don't have aggro issues, then defensive stats. Then you want to get enough HP's so that you have a large enough pool to not die too quickly and then you generally want to concentrate on damage mitigation (shield chance, absorption etc...). Healers generally like to heal low steady consistent damage rather than large spikes (mitigation over avoidance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guurzak Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 You want "enough" of both. Enough Aim means you're not missing so much that you lose aggro. Enough Endurance means you're not dying. If you have "enough" of both, worry about alternative stats like crit chance. Note that improving your armor values, shield chance and shield absorption will likely improve your survivability more than a straight End increase.

lifewontwait Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Y Enough Aim means you're not missing so much that you lose aggro. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Aim doesn't help chance to hit, does it? Accuracy does. But your larger point stands, that is, Aim will help you not lose aggro as you will be doing more damage.

WWIIIKID Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 What would be more needed as a dps vanguard in PvE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astares Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 What would be more needed as a dps vanguard in PvE? For normal PvE (not raids) it would be in Aim > Crit > Power > Surge. Accuracy isn't really an issue for non-raid level fights, heroics might prove that wrong. Some builds rely on Crits to activate certain skill benefits, Surge increases Critical damage. Power directly increases bonus damage and healing at a better conversion rate then Aim but doesn't give any extra Crit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
