Leveling as a tank is just fine. Actually if you're gonna play tank I think it's best to level as a tank so you learn your spec and develop muscle memory. You'll have to re-learn abilities and key bindings if you switch at level 75. The key is when leveling to use dps mods and gear, and set your companion to dps so you can kill npcs faster. You'll still have decent survivability because of your dcd's and a shield (don't use a focus or generator use a shield with dps mods as well). This is known as skanking and with some classes you might find skanking also useful in end game content as well.
I reached level 75 today, discovered this video yesterday, I builded my Shadow as you told (spell-wise and rotation-wise) and it's really fun, what a great guide and such a nice experience as my first time as a tank in MMO, I must already have seen this guide like 10 times, really instructive !
"There is a such thing as a meta tank, but if you're not playing the way that you want then what's the point of playing at all" a like worthy statement right there.
Great video. You are right on the damage output. I ended up tanking one of the bosses on the last fight in the dread fortress on my gunslinger. The tank couldn't keep up,that was crazy fun!
Returning back after they did a level squish and everything and having to relearn my Darkness SI all over again. This was invaluable to me. I appreciate the care you put in to helping us out.
A master in the Force both Dark and Light, your video got me into tanking on my Shadow and thanks to you I’m doing ok! I’m sure with following and studying your guide multiple time, I will be able to become a competent Tank!
Love the guide. I have a Shadow tank that I have been fiddling with for a while. This helps a lot. I would like to suggest that you separate the specs into 2 videos. One for Shadow and one for Assassin. This will help with the flow for a user
Came back after a long hiatus since 2017 and have rediscovered my love for the Assassin. The question is what crew skills I should choose on this main considering endgame and that I have all applicable gear producers on fairly high level alts. Right now I have Slicing for the top end ember generation missions as well as Archaeology and Bioanalysis to help keep the alt crafters stocked.
Im bringing that point now up, because i didnt see them in the comments. Regarding your stats. Your Absorb and Shield is fine by me, I play tank myself and what people learn while playing tank, is that most of the stuff is personal preference. So just my personal preference regarding the power stat and threat generation. I think it is better to at least hit the cap for the power stat in lvl 70 content, because the threat a player generates, either tank, damage dealer (dd), or healer, is directly linked towards one of their outputs. For healer, the more they heal, the more threat they generate. For Tank and dd, the more dps they do, the more threat per second (tps) they will generate. For dd it is a 1:1 situation, for example if the dd does in lvl 70 12k dps, with out an aggro reduce the tps will be 12k, for the tank the situation is not 1:1 but more a 1:more than 1. For example if the tank does around 5k dps on a boss, the tps should be around 14k to17k tps, but if the tank deals less damage, lets say 2.5k he will also generate less threat. Because i usually play at the around 2.5k cap in lvl 70 Operations i dont now an acurate number for the tps, but i believe it should be around 10k +/- a few. And that makes it way to easy for the dd to get the aggro from the boss. In Short: Yes as a tank defense is priority number 1, but a tank cant ignore his dps, because that is linked to the tps he generates, so the more dps a tank does, the easier it gets to keep the aggro from the boss. So in my opinion a tank should use in lvl 75 Operation Dxun the dd modifications to gain damage, and for the others, with the lvl 70 cap a tank should use the tank modifications unless the tank got less power than the cap allows. The Power cap was 2557 i think for tanks, so anything above is useless, but anything below will cost damage and in return tps
This guide is great, but you didn't mention phantom's stride or reaper's rush, a utility that goes with that ability. In my experience this is a great utility to have since movement is really important to you as a tank. (And spike isn't all too important but still ;-;)
@@SWCentral Phantom Stride has no minimum range and with Reapers Rush it procs your Assinate ability which allows u to use it regardless of target health level and auto crits. Obviously doesn't do the damage that a dps would, but is the second hardest hitting ability.
Thanks for the great guide. Iam in progress to play the game somewhat more serious and not just push buttons. Did you have plans to do guides for other roles/classes too in the future ? Keep up the good work :)
We will possibly cover the other classes yeah :) It's all about how much time we get and whether or not people want it. So far, a lot of people have requested it.
Miss the game...quit after we were 3rd ww killing Revan in TOS. Would love to play again, but all i got is a macbook pro presently and sorta digital-nomading it for the past few years

Hi Sam, thanks for this video. I am a returning player and was plannig to roll a Sith Assassin/Sorc. Never done tanking in SWTOR before but keen to try. I hear Assassins are absolute beasts, when it comes to tanking. I was wondering if you could share your interface and keybind set up please?
If you click on my homepage here in TH-cam and find my top 100 tips video for SWTOR, you'll find a bunch of useful links along with a download for my interface :) there is also a mini guide in that video explaining how to put them in your folder if you need that.
Awesome vid easy guide, can my lightning dudette be a tank? Is there something like dual talents?? (like that Big mmo??) hope you can make for the Jedi guardian/sith warrior
Unfotunately you can't save templates of "builds", other MMO's have this feature and i'd love to have it for SWTOR hehe. Best thing you can do is buy "Field respecialisation" from your legacy perks. This allows you to change your discipline path (Build) whenever you want, but you'll need to re-allocate your uitility points each time.
I'm assuming you mean my assassin, because he's dope. He wears the revanite pursuers helmet, force Heralds Robe dyed black white. The rest is horizon guard pieces. Dark honour guarda vibrostaff!
*Will this become a series?* (I.e. A playlist/playlists with detailed guides on playing each role of each of the mirrored classes, like this one for Assassin/Shadow.)
well, I dont understand clearely the preferences of the Assasin/shadow, the Jagernaut has a lot of survivor abilities compare to this class. can you make a comparison of these classes?
OMG dude thanks so much. I had literally no idea you could use something else besides focus in the second slot. How many other secondary weapons can be put there and or with other classes? So do I need to have the shotgun with my scoundrel?
No problem! Yes a Scoundrel uses a Scattergun in their off-hand! A Consular uses a focus, same with Assassin dps. Marauders and Sents use a second lightsaber of course :D Commando can use a focus in their second slot! ALL TANKS, need a shield :D
@@SWCentral You think that might increase my survivability if I use it over the focus while grinding in harder spots? I am currently 54 on her, but I got owned trying to run the pirate Incursion. I might be able to sneak around for at least some of the dailies. I have a level 80 Sent combat that I used a lvl 70 pass on so there is still a huge gap. I really love this video, thanks!
Absolutely! As a tank, our hilts / armourings come with more endurance on them. What you can do, to improve your damage output on your tank is switch your "Resistive Hilt" for a "Versatile Hilt". You can do the same with your barrel modification if you're on a class that uses a blaster. Resistive = Endurance heavy (Health pool) Versatile = Mastery Heavy (Damage)
For my Assassin? Force herald upper, remnant guardian greaves, everything else is from the horizon guard set except the mask which is Revanite pursuer. Chest dyed black white!
The problem I have with this tank class is you have to wait for your still to proc before you want to use them. How do you know they proc? Well you stare at your hot bar which defeats the purpose of putting skills on your keyboard.
If you adjust the bar scale, it becomes easier to notice the nice flashing halo on the ability. If you don't have that option turned on, you will want to change that in preferences.
I understand what you're saying. And my response is this: I can play any of my 3 main classes rotations without really needing to look at anything. Rotation and binds become so familiar, that combat becomes routine. Procs are also shown with auras, effects and differed animations sometimes. Even sound fx plays a part.
Thank you for this amazing video. The part on rotation is so informative. There are so many abilities in game it was great to see a hotbar with only the core abilities. Also what weapon are you using on your assassin, it looks great. Combined with the lightning charge, its made me want to make an assassin tank over a shadow.
Thanks for the comment! - We really wanted this to be the only guide you'll ever need for Sin tanking. Glad to have helped! Also, it's curved honor guard vibrostaff :D (Fun fact, Eric Musco the community manager gifted me that weapon before it was released in the game. So I had the only one for about 36hrs!)
Your gear missed Dire Retaliation. I personally use the Dire Retaliation set as it allows for the best TPS for a Shadow/Assassin. Also, you didn't even cover what shield and absorb rating one wants as a lvl 75 tank. As a clothie tank, you want your shield rating at 52% so that when you pop Dark Ward, your shield rating jumps to 75%. This is obviously in the min/max category, but is important for Shadow/Assassin tanks as when we get hit (not blocked) we take more dmg than PT or Jugg/Guardian tanks due to the fact they wear heavy armor vs our light armor.
Hey! While we always welcome criticism, we already accept the fact that this video is not "the" tank guide. Everyone will surely have something to add, a little bit of advice here and there. Keep that in mind! :D Also, min/max doesn't always appeal to the larger population. Most people just want a general guide on how to start doing something. So long as we can help a few people get to that point, we did our job!
7k in Defense... why though? Personally, I'd rather have my shield proc quicker and have an absorb rating higher than to, occasionally, deflect an attack.
Well, like I said my stats are in a good place but are no means the best. They can be used a template for others or not, your call bro. I am working on fitting all BiS mods, but i'm not there yet.
Yo, This information on amps is wack. "not that useful to anyone really" -eye twitches in DoT Spec- You can get over 20%+ to your DoTs base damages and thats not Insignificant by any means. HOWEVER They should be your FINAL Concern when you're optimizing your gear. Frankly, I think really only because of how misleading the info provided is on their efficacy it may behoove you to do a separate in depth guide for amplifiers tbh. Also, the rebrand is weird to me and I will never adapt.
Thanks for the feedback! We saw this before the video went out, ultimately I decided that there was no need or cause for me to make an in depth segment on amplifiers for Assassin / Shadow tanks. That's not to say they are not useful at all. By no means a priority for a new player. About the rebrand, could you narrow down what's wierd and also narrow down what exactly you need to adapt to? ;)
@@SWCentral you could mention that a safe amplifier to use is Aural Resistance as it reduces AoE dmg taken. And unless they are gearing for lvl 75 content, just use the first one that pops up and not to exceed 45k per re-roll. Have a bunch of extra armorings that be swapped in to start the whole re-roll process anew and save tons of creds.

Will you make the same guide but for healers and healing classes?
Possibly, I don't normally play healer myself but there is potential for it to happen. Anything I decide on, i'll let you all know with a post :)
What's the thing with the DPS hilt by the way you only touched on it for a second is it worth switching over from a tank hilt?
Absolutely! As a tank, our hilts / armourings come with more endurance on them. What you can do, to improve your damage output on your tank is switch
your "Resistive Hilt" for a "Versatile Hilt". You can do the same with your barrel modification if you're on a class that uses a blaster.
Resistive = Endurance heavy (Health pool)
Versatile = Mastery Heavy (Damage)

Did u do all your main story content and kotfe Kotet in tank spec?
Depends. I'll respec DPS if it's convenient.
How squishy are they compared to Jugg/guardian tanks?
If you don't use your defensive abilities, such as Dark Ward on cooldown, you will be *VERY* squishy in comparison. So, management is key.
