Hey all, So I am returning player and looking to get back into doing Flashpoints and Operatiobns. I have played off an on since the launch of SWTOR and always have mained a Shadow Tank. Currently in process of gearing her out yet again. Along with my sage healer. What I am looking for is a group to run content with and relearn the fine art of shadow tanking. Along with this I would like a guild that is readily doing conquest. Hit me up here or in game. Asyàshi (alt code 0224) Thanks

Ok so I did not miss anything on the left side at least. thanks!

So I have done alot of digging and nearing my end of my gearing for my shadow at least 248 armorings that is. I have come across alot of debate on the left side and enhancements. I have already swapped out my mods to all Lethal B Mods. But looking over the implants and ear pieces the Absorb/Shield is 11points higher then the crafted 246s Same goes with the enhancements. Granted 1 point endurance wont matter much but total loss of mitigation was quite high. Why are people taking the 246 over the 248 left side? Is there something I am missing?

Hey all, I am as the title says a Shadow Tank. Have played one since early acess. Now that I have a vast amount of time to dedicate to the game. I am looking to start into Ops. I have done some Ops prior some HM stuff as well. I have done S&V, Terror, Have done HM Bulo, and the cart guy cant remember his name with attempts on the walker. Times and days are negotiable though I do prefer evenings... Days I can make any days. Most all my gear is around 192+ Mitigation pool of 3185 ( gonna be losing some defense in favor of Shield) Yes I know my class well and can hold my own. Though I will not sit on a bench and warm it. I am looking for regular Operations. I do not mind wipes as it happens and we wil llearn from it. I have raided hardcore for years in WOW and can do it all...from healing to tanking. I have a vast knowledge of MMO raiding. If you would like to talk to me please send me a forum pm or leave a post. Thanks!

I was wondering that if they did hit harder then normal. I will take a look at adding more defense and trying to change out some of the Mods here shortly. I was pretty sure I was dang near on par with the stats I did need to be at were either close or dang near. But again appreciate the feed back :-)

So the reason I am asking this is because I have tried time and time again to resolve the problem of taking huge amounts of spike damage. I am noticing I can be at full health (56k stimmed and buffed) and then I pull a trash pack in a HM FP and drop to 30k within a couple seconds. Mind you I do not have any set pieces as of right now working on it but so far its not going to well. My mitigation pool is at 3152 with Kinetic Ward up. Stats are as follows: Defense Chance 21.04% 391 Shield Chance 53.17% 1046 Shield Absorb 53.43% 1715 Health Pool: 56048 stimmed and buffed Augments on all gear. Going to be getting my 198 shield this week. Cool downs used regularly as needed, KW is always up and so is Shadow Protection. Any ideas or input would be great! Thanks.

It boils down to this with me. A: It has been known event for sometime B: You release all kinds of class changes yet leave our certain classes C: You release new planet with a really good storey then stop and release it with the 12x xp to be a disappointment D: You fail to communicate or check to make sure the deployment of the 12x xp boost will go smoothly with knowing it is going live at X time of day on X day This all boils into one big mess for me. I see that you as a company fail to realize that many of us have time set aside each day to play or make special arrangments to take part in these kind of events. Yet you fail to deploy them on time nor do you communicate properly with the customers. Specially this event being aimed at PAYING CUSTOMERS. This is absurd. You release the game f2p and preferred status etc. Yet events aimed at your paying customers are screwed up lack of communication and you expect to gain more paying customers? Why would anyone pay for a game that you have failed to communicate regularly on for paid events such as this 12xp one. Bioware you need to take a step back and look at all the complaints of the communication and see where you are going wrong and take steps to prevent this from happening time and time again. It will only hurt your bottom line.

Ok so again I am finding now with the rewards in GF better that more stupid players are joining in. Namely dps that become impatient and rather pull pull pull verse doing there job and dealing the damage... Recently I have come across a number of them which promptly I have told them to let me pull. Yet this does not seem to stop the morons from doing so which I then being a shadow vanish and let them bite the dust next pull similar situations. So Finally I come to dropping the groups. What do yall do to stop this annoying crap specially on boss fights and normal trash pulls containing 3+ elites.

Hell All! So a bit about me. I am Ukina Shadow Tank who took up home here on Jedi Cov. After moving here I have found the server to be enjoyable and a lot further along in content and more readily available! I have been playing off an on since Launch though I will have to admit this game has taken me full on now...So farther improved then it was. What I am looking for is a guild that is still running some SM and moving into HM as I just finished gearing at 60 and looking to jump into Ops. (Not looking to be a back up or a bench warmer) My days are preferable either Tuesday Wendsday Thursday or Saturday Sunday Monday... times need to be around 7pm PST. Earlier may work but prefer later then 7pm PST. If you want to chat please hit me up and we will talk!

Hello All, Well first off my name is Taini a Shadow Tank. I have been an avid gamer in many MMOs over the years. Mainly started out at Launch of World of Warcraft...Once I heard of SWTOR I came over here and played off an on for some time till I finally have had enough of jumping between several games to make the move permanent. As this game has finally grown into a game I feel will last and bring alot of fun and challenges I am here now to seek a home. I have done some Operations in the past which include: Dread Palace Tobarros Courtyard Terror from Beyond Plus a few others that I can not recall the name of at this time. I have played a Shadow Tank since the start and have learned this class very well inside and out. My gear at the moment is majority of 186's as I just came back a few days ago and working hard on my comms to gather more gear. What I am looking for is a guild raiding any day after 8pm PST. I can make all raids normally and if I can not make one I do let someone know. I have raided every raid in WoW up until the latest expansion as that was the last straw for me. Going to a dumbed down system was not my idea of fun nor was it worth the time anymore for me. If you would like to chat please hit me up in game. If I dont answer right away chances are I am in a FP Or a Warzone. Thanks!

Hello All! So as the title says I am a Shadow Tank looking for a Progression Ops Team/Guild. I do not plan to be a bench warmer and it needs to be a core spot. Things I am looking for: Set Op Days and Times Set Ops Team Tues Wed Thurs Fri Operation Days (only days im free to run Ops) Times prefer Evenings may be able to do earlier I have cleared S&V TFB on SM have yet to find a group for DF or DP. Gear is all 162 and above with 168s and 180s as well. (Hunting to trade mats for Implants atm) I am a laid back person with years of Expiernce in raiding end game content. If you would like to chat please contact me in game at Sierrå alt code 0229 Thanks!

Appreciate the offer but Sundays do not work for me, taking a chance of doing Ops on a whim is just not what I am looking for. Thank you though

Ok, So here is my question. In general it will relate to Tanks mostly but just curious over all what the protocol is for DPS in HMs, Ops etc. Tanks when you have a group mate that decides lets spread aggro and knock mobs flying all over out of your AoE ability and such? My conclusion is there is no rhyme or reason be it for added dps or not to use knockbacks in any MMO I have ever played there are the right times and places for such knockbacks and yes they can come in handy for certain things but over all this is occuring frequently and starting to really get annoying specially when they turn and yell at the tanks for letting the healer die and wiping said group. Lately I have come to a point that I am wondering is this part of some classes dps rotation? Or is it falling under "stupid dps"?

Hello All, So I have exhausted my options in gearing from HMs and ready to move onto the next step. As the title says I am a Shadow Tank and know my class very well. A bit about me: I am a 27 year old redneck grease monkey. I have been an avid gamer for many years starting with Beta of WoW. Also played some Runescape,EQ, and varying other MMOs. Within WoW I have tanked,healed and dpsed every tier of content and downed every tier while content was current. Bringing that to SWTOR now. What I am looking for is a place to call home and find a group that is fun to raid with. Times I am available are Evenings Tues,Wed,Thur,Fri Generally prefer to do Ops/Raids in the Evenings as I am more settled in at home and do not have anything rearing its ugly head saying take care of me take care of me! I have yet to step foot into Ops as of right now but have put forth my time and effort into reading and learning the fights via videos or whatever I could find. As well I have put forth my time into Min/Maxing my stats though this has proven to be a tedious yet annoying task as HMs do not really say alot specially when you get either overgeared or undergeared healers. If you would like to talk hit me up here or find me in game. Characters: Spirìt (Shadow Tank Main) Geneseè (Sage Healer) Sorå (Commando Healer) Thank you.

Hey all, Was curious if any of the other Shadow tanks have noticed any issues with using your stacks of Harnessed Shadows to gain Shadow Protection. Recently I have noticed on varying fights once I get 3 stacks and use tele throw that once in awhile I do not gain Shadow Protection and use my 3 charges of Harnessed Shadows. Is this a known bug or am I just imaging things? Any input would be helpful.
