Rai Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Well I finally got my Tank leveled and mostly geared. I am in full 186's with 10 out of 14 Augments. Close to the Ideal Numbers based on KBN's stat dispersion. This is my first tank though so it is a learning process. I wouldn't mind if I some Guildies would be kind enough to run some Fp's and what not so I can start the indoctrination. Bare with me though up until this point I have played only DPS characters.

Vegihan Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 What class is your tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansker Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 He is a Guardian if i remember right. One thing about KBN's numbers is they are a bit short on Defense for the current content. Make sure to go a bit heavier on the defense than he is suggesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Yes she is a tank. Right now I am looking at Defense 1132, Shield 984, and Absorb 535.. Not fully augmented yet, got 10 out of 14. just need to run some dailies to get some more cash, spent 2 mil so far on augs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianistgail Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I check my tank stats with this -- can not verify it's total accuracy, but some pretty awesome tanks use it: http://randomstuff.somee.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyckis Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Dank you know how I feel about u stacking 40% defense =).. Rai I play a guardian if you need any help email me on your playing schedule and I will make time to help you. Just by looking at ur rough numbers ur absorb needs to come up a bit you shouldn't have a big gap between the shield and absorb. I believe my numbers not buffed 22-23% defense 42% shield and 41% absorb just keep in mind I probably have better gear then you and you are not going to achieve those numbers yet. I would also recommend you getting some extra absorb augments so you can adjust your stats accordingly If you D is way to high and you don't dodge a attack what's ur back up plan? You going to need your shield and absorb to save u!!! Some things to keep in mind.. Also keep in mind you must keep you defense buff up at all times in your rotation which I believe it's a 5% increase so I'm technically at 27% You may also want to get with sciclex he may be able to help you and guide you to the more recent kbn numbers. Forgot to mention he also the guild Barnes and Nobles and knows every class. Dam I hit 300 post looks like we need a party for that..

Dansker Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 yeah, I know how you feel about that Fykis, and I'm not at 40% D ...however KBN did adjust his new stat balance to reflect where I am with Defense. My theory crafting did prove to be correct with the defense importance for current content. You want your base defense around 27-29% so with your defense buff you'll be able to hit the 32-34% range.

fyckis Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) I totally disagree with those numbers those numbers weren't even used pre 2.0 when ppl stacked 30% buffed defense and stacked 30k endurance.. I respectfully degree....I still luv u dank with ur 40% lol Edited May 26, 2015 by fyckis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 I will definitely look into adjusting those numbers.. and yes I am not in optimized gear yet...
