SWTOR 7.0.2 Shield Specialist Vanguard Guide

[@nicovia]

Nice touch showing us how to actually tank in FP, really appreciated. Keep up the good work!

[@Warphoenix22]

Damn dude once again, so easy to go to your vids and skip around to find and reference what I need. I always end up sticking around and having a listen and I always learn something. Have a great weekend my friend, you rock Mark!

[@LemanRussx]

Bless this channel for existing

[@TakesCooosh]

ALRIGHT IM STARTING THE VIDEO NOW! MAKE ME PROUD BIGGS.

[@NotMetalMagic]

I just wanted to comment that as an altaholic who took a few years off these videos have been helpful at reiorienting myself with all my characters, so thanks!

[@paulnyborg6792]

Thanks for the bits. Your explanations are clear, concise and connect the dots. Already a better player because of your guide.

[@skarloeythomas5172]

This one was brilliant. The flashpoint excerpt worked perfectly.

[@Amresh10]

First tank guide? Pog. Skank tank guide soon :P? Or defence guard. My guild wants more tanks and heals so would be appreciative. Thanks for the guides as normal.

[@anthonyg4289]

For someone getting back into the game thank you so much!

[@PumpThatStereo]

Such a fan of your videos, made me come back to SWTOR. Keep up the good work

[@ellahazan-fuchs7249]

I wanted to start tanking on my PT! Thank you so much

[@brenrosam]

Thank you for the great and informative guide, as usual! This is one of those videos that make me sad I can only like a video *once*. I tried to like it twice, but KZbin just took away my like completely. So, I liked it again, of course. But you still only get one like. Where's the justice in that? ;P One question: Where does Alacrity fit into the picture? 7.2% like DPS? Different for PvE tanking and Skank Tanking?

[@bobshewmake5369]

Not really on topic, but can anyone tell me what the pulsating fire oval ability is that someone is using, and what class is using it? I dig the aesthetic of it.

[@nasswtor]

could talk about tank openers (like always start with harpoon/force pull) and how to triple taunt to make sure youre never loosing aggro

[@chickenpotatogod]

Cool now I just need to know how you have your ui set up and btw what armor is that?

[@kayengaming8336]

Can I ask what gear you're wearing, or did I miss it? I feel like I missed it.. Anyway! If you wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction? Or doesn't it matter as long as you're hitting the stats

[@tombosley3048]

PERFECT guide im great at blaming my healer. thanks big daddy biggs

[@Nazskul]

Do they get guard ability still? Haven't played the spec for awhile thats all

[@mrnart6763]

wow, tank guides,that sounds interesting. Im not sure that pt tank is very popular, so I will wait for sin or jug tanks guide,if u will make them ofc

[@LucasLima-qq5yd]

Tank guides! Can't wait for Darkness assassin guide

[@thomasbrown4626]

Thank you for the great and simple guides. I also wanted to ask, what is the rifle you are using. That thing is REAL nice looking.

[@Biggsgaming]

Much appreciated! In good news, it’s the eternal champion’s rifle, very easy to obtain and not a lot of people know about it.

[@thomasbrown4626]

@@Biggsgaming Wow, thank you for the fast response. As well as for the info. I will look into getting that when I am able to.

[@ebonstar3800]

keep up the good work

[@ghostttriddder]

Hey bro can i ask what armor set are you wearing, looks pretty slick to me.

[@Biggsgaming]

Thanks! That would be the tactical infantry chest and boots, stalwart protector legs belt and boots and the RD-16A Havoc helmet, slap that onto the eternal champion's blaster rifle and you'll be good to go

[@ghostttriddder]

@@Biggsgaming Thanks for the reply man. I'm currently following the blueprint you laid for the SSV

[@Xromiq]

Hello, great vid. How do you enable the raid threat, dps etc (right corner) bars?

[@Biggsgaming]

I gotcha: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lV7ZlYGfg9yXm7s

[@DreamerINC324]

Best relics for vanguard tanking?

[@007himura]

I second that, what relics do you'll recommend

[@extremeswoopleague2058]

How are you getting survivability all the way to 55k? Can't seem to get anywhere near that, even with 336 gear and augments

[@Biggsgaming]

The calculations on those numbers are generally meaningless bunk designed to be ignored. If you’re getting the right tertiary stats on your gear, that’s all that matters.

[@artavila7717]

Really nice! Ty!

[@JustGamingAllDay]

question when leveling is it better to go tactics, or start tanking from the beginning to get the hang of it?

[@mramo11]

its definitely better to level with dps spec. faster

[@nytrunner9009]

Now that loadouts make switching disciplines a cinch, just level as Dps. You'll die of boredom less often.

[@skarloeythomas5172]

I switch between the two liberally. You can solo vet fps as shield but tactics is just instant death for your enemies.

[@chookiee4493]

I hope this make ppl pick tanks more often and also i my self may respec to it

[@ThePeebz10]

What raid damage mods are you using?

[@RB-cs5dw]

Hi which tank can just stand there and face tank everything, I want to make a tank just to help out now and again but need it to be easy and just stand there without much usage of brain power

[@Biggsgaming]

This tank (vanguard) is the natural beefcake you’re looking for.

[@RB-cs5dw]

@@Biggsgaming perfect thank you, what about guardian?

[@nytrunner9009]

For guardians it's a little more necessary to weave in your defensive cooldowns, so not really what you're looking for. *disclaimer, I can't ethically condone rolling tank without using brainpower

[@infentiemk6755]

Neural trigger is not worth it anymore after the nerf

[@MrNopperz]

When do you activate the H or 6 spell?

[@Biggsgaming]

AOE fillers

[@mitchtherighteous]

you were way too brief with the pvp stats here

[@Cabernetor]

When in doubt, blame the healer 😂

[@jdmlegends3009]

Lame how they force you to choose between Hold the Line and Cryo grenade in 7.02. Shield Specialist was already lacking in the utility department, and I'm not going to choose cryo grenade over mobility. Tanks need all the mobility they can get. The braindead devs over at EA need to go back to playing WOW and leave SWTOR alone.
