Hello fellow GF's!
Enjoying my newly minted level 70 GF and following along with some "tanking" guides as that is where I want to be! My Main up to now has been a HR so as I'm building my GF I just keep wondering if I'm messing up some on the stats
Since the GF looks so different although I know it should be.... However stats is something you don't always see in the build guides as your moving on up any info appreciated mine as currently (listed the big ones I think)
HP 114,760
IL 2100
PWR 5,061
C.S. 468 (yikes seems waaay to low)
A.P. 1,304
Rec 3,458
DEF 11,940
deflect 2,183
Recvy 2,220
L Steal 1,091
D.R. 43%
Defl 15%
I understand defense and D.R. are big but ive also been reading that keeping threat means doing dmg also. So my big concern is I'm not getting enough into PWR and C.S? Although so far I can still solo all content pretty well just takes a little time

I'll assume you are aiming at a tactician party buffer role? As such you'll need high recovery too as you want those cooldowns very low. Get gear that focuses on power/recovery/defence, ignore deflect at this stage as it takes away from more important stats.
You're also going to want high stamina gain, this maxes at 1000 points so having 1 artifact plus a couple of decent mount insignias would do that.

Thanks for the reply gives me some insight on how to GRIND on!!
dakkaA new Tactician, huh? I'd say I can give a few tips.
Not a bad starting point. Focus on building your tanking skills, like timing your ITF with the party's buffs, moving the boss to good locations, keeping enemy aggro, etc. You can worry about getting your stats in line once you have a better idea of what you're doing and your own strengths and weaknesses as a player.
30% ArmorPen is a fine start, although I would try shooting for 40% or more once you start running Tier2s/higher level dungeons regulary.
You can safely ignore Crit Strike and power. Sure, DPS helps your aggro, but spamming Enforced Threat, putting marks on your targets, and spamming Aggravating Strike should also help you.
If you want more aggro and you're feeling audacious, you can try using Knight's Challenge to tank bosses. It locks the boss on to you and it makes the boss deal less damage to your team. I've been trying it out and it's been a really weird version of Enforced Threat and a source of damage mitigation for the party.
You would need to stack an extrordinarily large amount of Defense/damage resistance before you have "too much". Trust me, you need a LOT more Defense (95% DR), a lot more Recovery (try for 10,000 or more), and a lot more Lifesteal (try 20% or more). and loldeflect, Deflect is nice, but attaining 95% DR and high lifesteal should be a bigger priority.
Technically speaking, you should be getting 1100 Stamina gain or 1200 Stamina gain for the maximum amount of points verus diminishing returns, but I'm lazy and 1000 is easy to remember. And the APG kits are expensive AF.
I loathe refrencing myself, but you can check out my Tactician GF guide if you haven't done so already.
Hmm... survivability issues in eShores, specifically, the final room?
It's very hard to "not" aggro the two drakes, as the moment you and/or your teammates get into their range, they pounce. And if they pounce, you gotta protect your teammates, so it would be difficult to avoid the drakes.
I used to have issues when my tank was gearing up. I specifically got rekt by the drake's multihitting circle attack and when the boss tossed his explosive balls on you. Perhaps these are killing you as well? If so, avoid them.
You could also do as you suggested, have your DPSers focus fire on the drakes and then deal with the boss. I personally just group all 3 together so the CWs/HRs/GWFs can hit all 3 with their AoE attacks (but I can take a lot of punishment, so...)
I'm not sure how much more useful advice I can give, but I hope this helps.
Once again thanks for all your help with the guide and responding to all us GF's out here trying to get our TANK on.
