== Improving your shield tank ==

The skills to use a proper tech two shield tank isn't quite as skill intensive as armour~~, requiring just {{sk|Shield Upgrades|IV|mult=yes|icon=yes}}~~ and ~~{{sk|Tactical Shield Manipulation|IV|mult=yes|icon=yes}}. Since~~ there aren't any passive omni tanked shield modules, you ~~need to use an~~ active invulnerability ~~field~~. You can fit for anti-gank by using an invulnerability field as well as thermal and kinetic hardener, since the strongest gankers are gallente. Use the rest of the midslots for as many shield extenders as possible and an afterburner/microwarpdrive to cut then align time down ~~(see below)~~.

The skills to use a proper tech two shield tank isn't quite as skill intensive as armour and since there aren't any passive omni tanked shield modules, you're often better off using active invulnerability fields. You can fit for anti-gank by using an invulnerability field as well as thermal and kinetic hardener or amplifier, since the strongest gankers are gallente in the current meta. Use the rest of the midslots for as many shield extenders as possible and an afterburner/microwarpdrive to cut then align time down.

One of the great pros of shield tanking is that low slots remain free which allows you to fit for speed, cargo or another layer of tank depending on your preference and needs.

There are also special case skills for certain modules, such as the {{co|coral|EM Ward Amplifier II}} module or any of the other passive resist amplifiers. None of these skills are required to fit the modules, but they will improve their efficiency.

~~One of~~ the ~~great pros of shield tanking is that low slots remain free~~, ~~this allows you to fit for speed or another layer of tank (armor or structure) depending on your preference~~.

There are also [[implants]] that help increase your shield hit points, such as the {{co|coral|Zainou 'Gnome' Shield Management SM-7}} and the {{co|coral|

Genolution Core Augmentation CA-3}} implant as well as the Low-, Mid- and High-grade {{co|coral|Crystal}} set.
