Daekarus Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 As per the title. I really want the tank mount that drops from this Operation, and I figure that gives me a good long-term goal. What level gear should I shoot for before attempting to join a run on this content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What level gear should I shoot for before attempting to join a run on this content? Recommended by the game? Optimized 150s (dread guard gear) Recommended by players? If you can follow mechanics, Optimized 150s. If not, you aint gonna down it. Optimized 156s with the set bonus from 146s does work too though, and optimized 162s+ is just overkill.

So, HM FPs and Elite comms if I want to be certain not to drag the group down. Does your answer change if I'm a tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikuvonDrake Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Honestly, it's lvl 50 content so you should easily be able to do this if you know your class, understand the mechanics and have at least some decent lvl 50 gear. We did it back on lvl 50 with 28khp on tank, so if you are above that in terms of HP and know that your gear is statbalanced you will be fine. Mechanics are the hard part, everything else is secondary. Edited June 19, 2014 by RikuvonDrake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechanics would be the hardest part like you said... well that and getting gear that doesn't have alacrity and accuracy on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which enhancements? Advanced Immunity Enhancement 28 Advanced Sturdiness Enhancement 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah torhead tends to call shield rating glance rating no idea why. Apparently in beta, Absorb was called glance to prevent confusion with absorbed damage, but then they changed it, but that explanation doesn't go with it. Either way, those are the enhancements you can buy that are really good and dont have accuracy/alacrity. Alternatively, buy a ton of Oriconian Boots, as they have shield/absorb on them.

HBCentaurion Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Heh if you want to PUG it, you better make sure that everyone is in 180 gear. The amount of derping I've seen in PUGs is unbelievable. Like on the first boss, the amount of people not using a med pack even though you've told them 5 times before hand is just ridiculous. I don't even want to think about PUGinng NIM Firebrand and Stormcaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBCentaurion Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Fair point. But it might give you time to get out of dodge when the sniper bang-rolls under the shield on Firebrand / Stormcaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRandomno Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 EC isn't an op that needs a certain gear lvl. You could be 150, 156, 168, or even full Dread Forged. But if you don't follow the mechanics a group in any lvl of gear is gonna wipe. We managed Toth and Zorn HM with one RDPS... We still had a wipe before though and the trash was a pain.
