mrkmcknz Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Two scenarios: 34,088 HP Defence chance: 18.48% Shield chance: 34.66% Shield absorb: 44.30% Willpower: 2195 41,617 HP Defence chance: 20.81% Shield chance: 29.28% Shield absorb: 33.27% Willpower: 1962 Which of the 2 is more beneficial to PVP tanking? With all the dots be thrown around lately I like scenario 2 with the increased shield chance and absorb. Thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottoattack Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I think KBN had it somewhere, but endurance weights the heaviest as several mechanics ignore shielding and defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolixe Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I think KBN had it somewhere, but endurance weights the heaviest as several mechanics ignore shielding and defense. He's talking pvp , there are no mechanics there's strategies Anyways, I'm pretty sure you should be able to do better than that statwise in brutalizer gear..

mmerry Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) I got bored a couple weeks ago and put together an obroan tank set. Off the top of my head my def stats were: Hp: 38.5k Defense: ~18% Shield: ~48% w/dark ward Absorb:~43% @ 0 dark bulwark stacks I used 5-6 absorb augs and the rest were endurance augs. I pretty much just tried to find a balance between hp and defensive stats. I only tanked regs, but I was relatively sturdy while doing the guard swap peel taunt thing that PvP tanks do.

Sacriversum Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 A little off topic, but 'back in the day' a tank spec in dps armor used to be viable. Is that still true you guys think? Or is it the case of a complete 'meh' in both departments, i.e. a crappy tank, crappy dps sort of deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ialyxxiieee Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I also have been wondering about this, for my stats, in full Brut ) i just use one def mod and def stim to have 102 point in def which is like 17% everything else into absorb and everything auged with WP, i dont see the benefit of having anymore hp with fortitude.

RodneyMcNeely Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Darkness has a viable dps rotation. I always enjoyed the Kinetic Combat/Darkness playstyle back at launch. Would a Shadow/Sin tank in DPS gear be a viable duelist? And what about being able to kill a healer within the current meta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
