Gizzle Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hey folks, I am looking for some of the baselines % we should be shooting for Tanking: Defense Absorb Shield Is the old data still useful? How should we be augmenting? Heavy on Def? In regards to DPS what % should we be shooting for?: Surge Alacrity Critical chance Accuracy Do we let accuracy slide a bit so we can trigger riposte? Any clue if that would be a boost to DPS or a hindrance? How should we be augmenting? Might or Power? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizzle Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Thanks for the heads up, I will swap a few def pieces out as I am sitting at about 22% def and 37 shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyMcNeely Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Defense: 20% Shield: 40% Absorption: the rest Is this for PvE or PvP? I'm about to start gearing my Defense Guardian for PvP and am not sure where to start. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelightr Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hey folks, I am looking for some of the baselines % we should be shooting for Tanking: Defense Absorb Shield Is the old data still useful? How should we be augmenting? Heavy on Def? The values of course vary as you gear. But typically you'll have 21-23% defense, you'll end up with about 40-43% shield and 38-42% absorb with 192s. All of our gear has higher shield than defense, so trying to hit ideal stats will be difficult without constantly re-augmenting. Personally I've found it best (and just as effective) to focus on Defense and Absorb, then let my shield hit whatever it hits through gear. I run 4 absorb augs and rest defense for now. I keep some of the 192 mods/enhance (both absorb and defense types) lying around and change out as my gear changes. Right now for my gear ideal stats is something like 1450/1050/975, and my stats are 1423/1125/930 (those numbers are real close, but not exact), which puts me at 22-23% on defense, 42-43% shield, 39-40% absorb (with stim, no ability proc gains). You factor in class procs and I hit 26-27% defense and 42-43% absorb and boost to 53% damage reduction (with 2pc bonus). For SM content I stay around 900-1300 dtps, boss dependent, which is easily healed and doesn't stress the healers I've talked to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
