Hello everyone.  I have a level 22 swashy on pvp server who duos with a warden.  I am fully mastercrafted and adept III, no fabled stuff.What should be priorities stat wise and what should my avoidance/mitigation goals be?  When does diminishing returns with mitigation really make more mit not worth it?Thanks in advanceTheodric

I'm not sure what you can do with the PVP-only class gear but at 70 if you can clear 3500 mitigation and 60% avoidance you can tank pretty much any heroic instance or KOS raid. Really not sure how that would scale down to your level, and it'd be pretty hard to do considering it'll be tough to find gear with huge +crush/slash/pierce resists or defense/parry

in full adept MC armor / jewelry, STA/AGI spec, I was sitting onl 53% mitigation and 55% avoidance. However I swapped to STA/STR, so only 52% avoidance now. This is at level 36. Its been that way since 22. So Just stick into your STR/AGI. I always focus on STR/AGI/WIS, as wisdom = yummy resists. However, I am also no longer a swashy, betrayed to brigand.

<p>when i tanked my way in groups i focused on STA and AGI and mitigation. your biggest help will be incurring debt, turning of combat experience, and questing. your goal will be to have the WIS tree completed and be filling out STR tree by at least your level.</p><p>STA with its ability to grant more hit points give more bang for bucks at lower levels...at higher levels wis rocks, but around your level pvp'ing you should notice a bigger differance when it comes to living longer by focusing on STA and AGI...hit points and avoidance.</p>
