ckoneful Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Don't want to be a hamper to any group I join so I'm wondering if my stats as a tank are decent enough for Heroic FPs or should I keep working on it before I join a group. 15890 HP37.10% Damage Reduction25.63% Defense Chance31.16% Shield Chance28.29% Shield Absorption All unbuffed except Combat Technique.

Rennyn Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Don't want to be a hamper to any group I join so I'm wondering if my stats as a tank are decent enough for Heroic FPs or should I keep working on it before I join a group. 15890 HP 37.10% Damage Reduction 25.63% Defense Chance 31.16% Shield Chance 28.29% Shield Absorption All unbuffed except Combat Technique. I'm not as familiar with Shadow/Assassin tanking, but it seems fine to me to start. At least for Black Talon to get some basic gear and daililes out of the way. Could probably focus on Shield Rating though to help smooth out the crazy damage spikes you would see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudaran Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 His Kinetic Ward will bump him up to 46% shield rating. You should be good to go with those stats. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckoneful Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Alright, thanks! I'll give it a go then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demoncrat Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 My damage reduction and absorption is 10%+ higher (and some change) but my defense is 13% unbuffed. BH tank though. I can tank all the way to False Emperor mostly fine. A few bosses hit VERY hard and I had to kite them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckoneful Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Oh, guess I should ask this aswell. Anything in particular from any bosses you guys recommend watching out for? Got the basic gist of most of the fights from normal, but anything to watch out for before I hit it in heroics would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPS needs to burn them down quickly or they enrage and one-shot everyone. Also normal trash hits harder so make sure dps does normal -> silver -> gold or your healer will die.

That sounds a little weird having the weakest hit the hardest O.o Never would've thought of that doing them myself most likely though. While soloing I usually take out the normals first just because it gets damage off me quicker though. Thanks again.

This biggest thing behind this is removing damage from the pull as quickly as possible. Therefore, kill the lowest health mobs first and the incoming damage is reduced quickly (and your healer will thank you for it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yerdd Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Your stats look pretty good honestly. Trash is the hardest hitting parts of flash points TBH and you can cc through it. I would start of with the easier ones but your gear will suffice for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, having two strong and four minions - taking out the minions makes it easier to manage and mitigate the strong. I suppose the draw back is they will hit harder but you'll be taking less total per engagement. As a Jugg myself (not perfect speced, I still need purp enhancements on my gear): HP:13660 AR: 6617 DR: 43.9 DC: 17.8 SC: 32.2 SA: 28.3 With Saber Ward up it pushes my DC to 45. But over all those are good specs for a LA-tank I'd say. Edited January 4, 2012 by tXHereticXt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
