Haven't tanked in the past 9 months, was disheartened when my guild fell apart a little before the first server mergers but my IRL friends wanted to reroll Sith so I rolled a Juggernaut tank recently and I just hit 50. I'm wondering if my gear is fine for running HMs and if anyone can give any tips for gearing up/spec.

I know it's fine for starting, but I don't know much about jugg tanks themselves so I'm curious for any tips, or if I'm doing anything wrong gearwise atm.

EDIT: I'll be augmenting the belt and bracers, should I get Defense augments?(Or what augments should I use in general, I'll augment everything else once it's 56+

That looks capable to tackle on all hard mode flashpoints.

Also, note that all players now get free Tionese gear at 50. If you need spare gear, go to the PvE terminal.

Juggernauts typically aim for ~25% defense, ~50% shield, and ~50% absorption for PvE. Once you've reached these minimum percentages, most people either opt for more defense or round up with endurance.
