Elicas Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Find my BH Powertech Tanking Guide here, hope it's helpful to those of you just starting out as a BH tank. Anyone who flags this for a sticky has my heartfelt thanks, as it stops me having to bump it at all Edit: Updated to version 2!

SpikeyG Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Good stuff, I didnt get in today so I can have a good read of this instead. Recently decided to go PT instead of a Jugg. Hopefully was a good choice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rinaxpl Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Oh.. Thanks man! Quick question: Since Puncture is a filler, are there any talents in Shield tree one might consider dumping to get Rail Loaders - just to get more effect out of Rail Shot? (Would it even be worth it, for 6% bonus dmg?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Would it even be worth it, for 6% bonus dmg?) The 6% bonus damage isn't worth it when compared to the talents we'd need to drop to pick it up. Thanks for the kind words all.

Armss Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 solid guide. spent a lot of time PT tanking on the thanksgiving beta weekend, got to lvl 28, and still all looks solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vsai Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) A few things I noticed which are incorrect. Ion Cylinder gives 15% shield chance, not twenty.Shields themselves have 20% absorption and 5% shield chance.There is no "BASE" shield chance or absorption.So shield chance is 32% total, not 47%.Total for absorption is correct.
