How to have 22k+ hp tank?

spinnytop

Not sure I've ever seen a guide for this. Is it as simple as Con primary, growth gems, bolstering secondaries and Protector spec or is there something more to it? I'm gonna hop on PTS to see if I can figure it out, but it's useful to just have that info here in the forums.​​

So with Con primary, protector spec, all R9 con mods bolstering secondaries, growth mods in defense gear I was able to hit 20,699. Sacrificing threat mods for growth mods let me hit 22,353 tho I don't know why a tank would do that. Did I miss anything?


Also for comparison
17,639 hp with 226% (106% + ( 20% x 6 )) damage resist
vs
20,699 hp with 189%(63% + ( 21% x 6 )) damage resist

I forget how to calculate effective hp from that.​​

Effective health = health * (resistance + 1)

Onslaught Tights of fitness gives a little more health, puts the total at 21,072 with confronts, 2 confronts and you hit 21,987.

Actually I've been curious as I've heard peeps and pips about it: with the Wardicator ring broken does that mean it's generally now more worth it to slot Growth Gems in your armor instead of Impact Prisms? (+HP instead of +Def)

Using the numbers foxi parsed out up there it appears so, the 20k hp one has about 3k more effective HP than the higher defense variant.

I think Int primary gives more HP than Con primary.
