I made a power tech shield cause I thought it could take a lot of damage but I melt in pvp. Should I go a different direction? I rank in the top two slots for protection but I feel I could do more if I could survive longer. I have seen Bounty hunters ( atleast I think they were bounty hunter ) in pvp and they just stand there getting hit like its cool and never die. Why am I not doing the same? I'm not concerned with most damage, biggest crit, or most kills. I just would like to que and not be the dead weight on the team.

No sticky for PT tank in pvp yet.

if you use guard, in pvp you take also the guarded target damage(50%), i suggest you to put high endurance mods and enhancements, use dps relics for more endurance and use fortitude augments.

That's actually a logical explanation. I take 50% of the guarded players damage. But really did see a Bounty hunter just standing there laughing as the op through the kitchen sink at him. How do I reach that level of invisibility? Is there a trick or is it just my lack of endurance?

Regarding high endurance mods. You may get high endurance mods with expertise from the vendors next to pvp class ones (center on the rear). Edited May 7, 2016 by Aetideus
