From a min-max perspective, it would be worthwhile to slot heal IOs (to the ~95% cap) before resistance IOs in True Grit and One With Shield, right?
I'm assuming this because of the applicability of hp to all types of damage, and the slight advantage of schedule A enhancement vs. schedule B.

It depends I went resistance to get a set bonus to get to get to the soft cap a 5 slotted aegis gives almost 5% aoe defense

Excluding IO sets, it's better to slot HPT for more hit points than for resistances. More HP is basically plus resist to all, but since the base hp boost is 20% and the resistance boost is less than 6%. So roughly 10% more hit points slotting for health or about 3% more resistance to all.
Once you get to using sets, what you slot for would depend on what the rest of your bonuses were aimed at.

Slotting for increased resistance in True Grit is of minimal value. It suffers from both lower starting values and lower enhancement values (schedule A at 33% for Heal vs schedule B at 20% for Resistance.)
Slotting heal enhancements in One with the Sheild has minimal value as well. If you have True Grit slotted for ED capped health increases and all the +max hit point accolades on your scrapper then when you click the unenhanced version of OwtS you are only 100 hit points from the scrapper HP cap. That 100 hit points is quite easy to pick up from +hit point set bonuses making any heal slotting in OwtS pretty much a waste.
(Remember that's post-accolades. Pre-accolades it can be of benefit to slot it for heal provided you want to spend a respec on taking them out later after you have gotten the accolades)

I slotted mine with a Steadfast Res/Def and 3 Heals.

Thanks for this tip. (I probably won't acquire all the +hp accolades.) I get slightly different results though my game math may be wrong (I assumed hp buffs were additive like damage buffs). All accolades (+20%) + fully slotted True Grit (+19.6%) + unlsotted One With Shield (+20%) seems to end about 240 hp short of the cap.
Is my math wrong? Is there a hp accolade I don't know about?
New question: Does the "-60%" end crash from One With Shield mean 60 pts of end, 60% of your current end remaining, or 60% of your actual max end (with the bonuses included)?
It's either max end or base end, I'd figure it would just be base end, or 60, but I haven't used it yet.

Considering when nukes fire off and take 100% of your end and not 100 points of endurence and all of the other tier 9s that crash take it all even if you have bonuses and accolades, its a safe bet to say its 60% from the total. But that's cool if you have more then the normal 100 points of endurance because you will still be left with more then 40 points of end.
