Eleyex Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Is there any reason why don't do this other than the fact you lose tech bonus damage? Edited November 5, 2015 by Eleyex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottoattack Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 It actually doesn't work. You will scarfice so much damage for 5% shielding and absorbtion. You need to have ion cyclinder active to get shielding and absorption to 20%, and if you do playing AP or pyro you sacrifice 60-70% of your damage output. This goes to all dps specs that can tank, unless you the tank stance active you should never equip a shield because it gives extremely marginal damage mitigation.

That's is correct, but op asked about using generator for dps specs not using dps gear for a tank spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maintain 2.5k on a dummy on my vanguard in tank gear. And I have done 3k single target in thrasher HM on my Shadow tank in tank gear. Your argument is invalid.

DeadDogBarking Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 First if you are tank curious put the ur taunts on key Binds that you can Spam when off CD. They do not use a CD so your damage will not suffer - pvp only. I have used guard stance w/without shield when guarding or keeping folks from a door. This is to be done only if you use your def well and in electronic fic situations. On my jug you change stances while moving, but is harder on VG. Also in arenas you may be a focus if you pull4 dps. BUT in pvp your burst is OP, so poor and mid level players will only be gimping their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
