Powertech Tanking - Now with 100% more spreadsheets!
Given that we seem to have a few powertech tanks, I thought I'd share this fantastic resource I stumbled upon. MorningMusume posted an awesome spreadsheet that calculates average mitigation and the stat gain new items would provide. It seems to be very accurate. Very handy for getting an idea of whether item A is better than item B for you, based on your current stats. All you need to do is download his Google spreadsheet as an excel file and plug your stats in. He also includes a detailed description of the various sections in his post: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=123306
In an effort to overwhelm the SWTOR board with maths, he also posted a discussion of a number of various powertech specs. First non-speculative discussion I've really seen on the powertech specs. Way more math-heavy than a game with no combat log has any right to be. Find that here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=173190
