Why does all the Basic Commendation Gear from Vendors have no Defense?
I am a Level 55 Juggernaut Tank and was looking at the appropriate Vendor for my class and specialization. I had to find out, that the Gear from those Vendors have 0 Defense on it, except 1 Belt and 1 Wrist Item.
Is there any logical explanation for that? Where can I get Gear of the same quality with my Basic Comms but with Defense and more appropriate Tank Stats?
Best Answer
At the Basic Gear Vendor(Lord Galall) there is Black Market Bulwark's MK-1 Gear.
About the stats. It doesn't really matter that much with black Market gear which defensive stats you are using. This matters more in higher Operations.
If you really want "defense" you can buy gear from other basic gear vendor en pull out the enhancements and/or mods.

Answer 2
The game tests your knowledge of modding. Get defense mods and with basic gear you can start doing the hardmode flashpoints to get better gear with elite commendations and with gear rewards you can do the Tier 2 SM operations fine.
