cool-dude Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Longest time I heard that shield and defense are more or less useless in pvp, and you are better off using dps gear and a focus. The rational behind this is that shield only protects you against white damage and non crits, and you will simply find more use out of doing more damage. However, though it is true about what they say concerning shield and defense, it is still more prudent to use a shield instead of a focus, and tank gear over dps gear. Here is why: Jedi knights, no matter what their AC mostly do white damage. Gunslingers mostly do white damage, troopers do a good mixture of tech and white damage, operatives do a good mixture of white and tech damage. The only class I would say a tank is useless against is a sage or its mirror class, considering they mostly do force and can out tank you with their bubble that absorbs all types of damage. A tank is pretty explanatory: I use endurance as my main stat and will as my secondary. Edited January 25, 2013 by cool-dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rynis Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Basically what I did was buy all the stock survivor pieces and after I bought 7 or 8 WH survivor boots and used the mod/enh in all my pieces. Pretty straight forward...and for augments I used endurance ones. 27k hp 32 def 44 shield 40 abs 1200 expertise I also run this spec: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#200MIMokrckZfhrokbZb.2 The end result: http://i.imgur.com/I2x1OXS.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamikazeNaruto Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) 22/17/2 is also the spec I currently run. For stats/gear.. I would suggest Maxing expertise to 1390. Putting all the possible highest health mods/enhancements in your gear. Maxing your defense up until 30% So the order is expertise --> endurance --> defense to 30% --> shield --> absorb. Also link to my armory in my sig. P.S. http://imageshack.us/f/96/millionprotection.jpg/ Edited January 27, 2013 by NamikazeNaruto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamikazeNaruto Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) I have made a comprehensive guide for PvP tanking as an assassin. It is long, but I made a table of contents and split it into sections so that you can simply browse to the section(s) that interest you. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=591275 Edited January 27, 2013 by NamikazeNaruto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
