Shields & cardiac radial boost!...

I have decided to go cardiac radial boost with my bs/sd/bod, to further beef up durability.
My build now is at 1,938 (2319 with one with the shield), 23.85 hp/sec regen, 28.55 with one with the shield. melee defense rests at 41%, and 40.9% to R/AoE. with a vet pet buff that goes to 43% M and 43.4% to R/AoE, or with one allie soft capped to all posistions. A heal for 506 HP on a eight second recharge. 28% res to S/L F/C 16.7% E 14.2%, NE 20.4% and T at 14.2%. Extra 22% to S/L and 11% to all but psi, with one with the shield.

Now with radial bost with extra 20% that 28% turns to 48% or 71% to S/L with one with the shield. That 20% to all others puts me close to 40% resistance to all but psi (psi 20%). That would be a substancial boost in durability for my scrap. On par, with tanker version invun. Mind you I wouldn't have Dull Pain cranking an aditional 1k HP cap. But I am close to tanker base HP.

Now mind you I am not trying to make my scrap a scranker, but as most shields know scrap side, they end up turning into a meat shield for the meat shields. AAO has such strong agro, that a ice/electric/pyre tanker can be stripped of agro, if not spamming taunt.

I am not trying to compare my self to a tanker, because honestly I have too much tank XP to know, no matter what I do, Seraphima will never come close to tanker durability. However as stated above, I feel shields should gear for as much mixed mitigation as possible, because of the potential for stripping agro is so great, that they should beable to take hits like a tanker. Please don't mis read this as a tanker bashing post, it is just my opinion that SD should be made tankerish in durability numbers, because of the fact of agro.

I would like some opinions if you care to. I would love to see some support. Or if some one has a better route to take my scrap I would love to read it. I will post my build for the forums info, and to see the numbers. Not looking to get my build tailored, because I love her build, and am not changeing it, just for insight purposes.

I thank you for taking the time, and please have a merry X-mas (if some are offended by that) have a merry Christmas.

Cardiac doesn't work like that.

The Alpha slot should be viewed as an enhancement.

So lets say you had a power giving you 10% resistance to all unenhanced. If you went Cardiac Radial that would increase that 10% by 20% (10*0.2) which would make your resistance from that power 12%.

Also, get your defense to 45% >_>
