The Shield Tech/Shield Spec Compendium

[Pinnick]

I've been thinking about adding more Shield/Defense mods as well. Doing HMEC last night and Lost Island this weekend I felt and I believe my healers could feel I'm a tad squishier (after going 49.50% shield to 45%) although my shield absorb was higher (41% pre-1.2 and 49% with full Heat Screen). Additionally, I've never understood how shield absorb can be king b/c to actually absorb anything we have to shield first before anything else.... so IMO, stacking more shield then working on absorb is a better approach.

I could be way off but it's just me thinking logically about the stats and how they work.

Regarding the rotation... I was using something similar as well. Threat still hasn't been too much of an issue which is good. Also, have you noticed that Flame Sweep is hitting harder than before? Still very very inefficient, but hitting a bit harder.
