Cain's Tank [WIP]

[BigBob357]

So I decided to use my Engie alt as a tank. Link follows:

http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?build=nctank_10873

This is FAR from optimal or complete, but can do ~30K DPS in ISA, but more importantly, has been able pull >60% of damage with zero team deaths while running with someone doing better than 80K DPS (who only took 13% of total damage). So the take away is, that while tanking is necessarily "needed", it is still a viable and FUN playstyle option. Any questions or suggestions are welcome. I will be looking to improve this build and will update the skill planner link accordingly.

Looks great, but three years in the game, and I still don't "get" all the console mumbo-jumbo, hence, 3K dps is about the best I can do.  However, escort/carrier pets I do know, and I have one suggestion:  get the Elite Plesh Brek Frigate (purple) as your escort/pet.

I believe you have to get this first in order to get it as a escort/carrier pet.  Once you get it, just clean it out and place into drydock.

Once you do the above, you can get these from the Dilithium Store (I think):

Once upon a time, these where the best Carrier pets in the game, but with all the changes, who knows this week. 

Good hunting!

Sadly, this was my first Winter Event so I don't have access to the raiders. I guess I have to take a look at some of the other pets available to me down the road. Thanks for the suggestion though.
