Thread: dt tanking

    I'd say Ibis > Blossoming Death for a DT, no matter pvp or pve. It's not that hard to get one these days, especially comparing with mats amount needed for T3 crafted shield mentioned above

    If one can easy get T4 DT sword then sure, it's right way to go and Ibis can be easily transformed into protection sword after.

    Imo AoK shield is best free drop til T4, so it's definetely worth to grind for it.

    As for protection fights yeah ,T3 crafted is great, but it takes some effort to get that one
    T3 protection shield from Gyas on other hand is relatively easy to get and it isn't bad at all although has no crit rating.

    Protection tali from Wyrm is great but might be not that easy to get for fresh DT.

    Both you and Tiberivs are forgetting about Essence of Courage shield from Yag, which is the best pre-T4 DT shield. AoK shield is crap, the only offensive stat on it is CR.

    Also hit rating (55) and more crit damage rating (65), both stats aren't bad for a tanking DT. Only stat it lacks comparing to Essence of Courage is strenght, but even so imo it still benefits DT way more.

    So the question is "if 80 strenght with lower overal stats is better than 55 hit rating with higher overal stats?"

    Might be the case of preferences, but I do like AoK shield more.

    As you say, 15% is nice crit rating, but better to have close to 18%, and do not underestimate the power of Hit rating. 12,5% is a minimum unless you want a lot of combos evaded. Always have Decisive and Pressing Strikes equipped on perk bar.
    Yeh,is easier to get from Pillars,and yeh 15% is a minimal but with this gear plus with some nice acessories(which i didn't mention) he should have 18% like you said or more,plus there is crit pot which gives +5% crit )
    And yes hit is important aswell ofc,common sense )

    Not really forgetting,yeh is a nice shield for dt,but i prefer Fort blue shield over that one

    Only loses vs the crit stats from the yag one,in armor it wins by 2,so is basicly the same...but i prefer to not go blind in dps,a mix of stuff is always the best in my opinion

    Hate and hit on blossoming death should not be underestimated either. Ibis is just too expensive and you are left with a tank weapon without hate, strength or hit.

    Oh, I'm not saying it's bad or something. Lacking stats on Ibis might be not that big a deal, but that depends on the rest of the gear. I just like Ibis more and I think it's worth to get if grining mats for it doesn't scare one

    Also if he decides to try pvp one day, Ibis should be more useful than Blossoming Death.

    Oh yeah, I forgot that some pve stuff might be hard to get on Fury, sorry

    But if you aren't in a guild yet, then try to look for some, which does pve stuff as well.
