smellydude Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Hi i just hit 50 a couple days ago and was wondering what stats i should aim for to tank flashpoints (normal and hardmode) for my vanguard My gear is all epic modded, i'm pretty close to the daily implants but the rest of my gear is epic crafted here are my stats 16khp 56% shield chance 43% shield absorb 15% defence 50ish damage reduction Requirements for normal flashpoitns and hard modes Thanks Edited January 27, 2012 by smellydude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinkor Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) What class are you? For a powertech your shield chance seems a bit too high. Use morningmusume spreadsheeet from powertech forum to work out the best combination of stats to maximize your tanking ability but i'm doing HM's with less overall mitigation than what you have. Ps i assume your last stat is defense, not shield defense. Edited January 27, 2012 by grinkor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trooper (vanguard), i've just been going for what a guide has been saying (shieldchance>absorb>defence) didnt know it was bad to have it that high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slteath Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 If I remember correctly, 50% is the cap for damage reduction and shield chance/absorption..... but other than that, you should be fine. I just started running HMs with buddies and I am running on these stats: 17K hp 25% defense 36% shield 32% absorb 690 max damage 280 bonus damage just cleared up BT and BP last night, not sure about rest of the HMs yet. I am not running with PvE gear though, I am in my PvP gears. 8x champion, the rest are centurion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
