Min/Maxing PVP Assassin Tank gear

[DarthVenomous]

Greetings PvPers,

 

I am having trouble finding an online guide to resolve these last few questions. I am a PvP Assassin tank with full Conq gear. I ritualistically am my team's anchor node guard. I need a few more pointers to make sure I'm getting the most from my gear.

 

Here is where I'm at right now:

 

2018 expertise

36.5k HP unstimmed

500+ force power

1000+ minimum damage

5900+ armor rating

19.5% defense

45% shield (with Dark Ward)

33% absorption

 

#1) I've removed all accuracy from my gear. This leaves me with an innate 94% accuracy rating. Is this sufficient? Do I want the 100% accuracy / 110% force ability accuracy?

 

#2) Two pieces have an alacrity stat on them giving me 118 rating (1.7% increased speed). Is this enough alacrity to even notice a difference on my GCD?

 

#3) Is defense a viable stat for Assassin tanks in PvP or should I dump that for additional Absorption? Is there diminishing returns on either Shield or Absorption?

 

#4) I have augmented all my gear with +32 willpower and +20 endurance. I tried the fortitude augments with high endurance and power but the additional hitpoints did not make up for the reduced damage I deal NOT having all the willpower.

 

I thank anyone up front who can help me with this dilemma. I look forward to reading the responses.

For PVP just max endurance and prioritize defense last. If you're worried about damage, grind a separate min-maxed power DPS set and swap in pieces depending on the situation.
