I was asking myself the same question last night. So i did a little math. First off, Power contributes roughly 14-15% more dmg than Willpower (or any main stat), Meanin 1 power = 1.15 Willpower. (you can open your character sheet as a reference). Now, to compare the Mods damage-wise, I'm going to convert the damage contribution from the mods to a single stat for an apple to apple comparison. Mod #1: 64 Willpower 12 Power (x 1.15) ~ 13.8 Willpower TOTAL : 77.8 Willpower ; Mod #2 51 Willpower 39 Power ( x 1.15) ~ 44.85 Willpower TOTAL : 95.85 Willpower. Mod #2 has roughly 23% more dmg output than Mod #1, Even with 5% mainstat buff. Mod #2 has 90 hp less than Mod #1. For PVE, Mod #2 is the better choice. For PVP, depends: What I have come to notice from my experience, if you are a burst type class, like a Powertech Pyro, you need the +power to do as much frontload burst dmg as possible, until the next burst. If your class is about DoTs and Outlasting the other class, you will need the +Endurance, both from Mods and Enhancements. I hope my post was helpful.

It's not "desync" issues. It's the delay time of your key input to be sent to game server, process an action, send the output signal of that action back to you. This is normal server delay. You can try this when playing next to a friend with you in the game. Stand together, then make your toon jump while looking at your friends screen. You will notice that you will jump on HIS screen a second later ( or so). No matter how good (low) your latency is, you will always have this issue. The current level of technology of residential telecommunication doesnt allow what you're hoping for.... Maybe in 10 years....

Not yet . We are waiting our server's turn (Bloodworthy - EU pvp). I'd say the server transfer was a successful project when i can still do warzones from 1am to 5am GMT. ....Am I expecting too much?

Specify exactly what mods you use. And please state what's your total +Power rating, +Surge and +Expertise.

This... I also dont have any BM gear yet. Rolling with Champion earpiece, Implants, and Relics. The rest, Rataka gear.

lol? Real Pyros dont use anything with cast time when fighting 1 v 1. TD > IM > Railshot crit (4.4k) + TD blowing up (crit 4K) > Electro dart > RP 1.4K> (rail shot proc) 4K > FB > FB > FB till target is dead.

OP, I feel you. Like you, I couldnt understand how people got those numbers to reach 4K and 5K; but have faith, is it doable. First of all, the +End and +Aim stats on PvP gear is terrible compared to Columi and Rakata Gear. Yet, you still need the expertise rating from the pvp gear. You need 400 expertise to reach +10% dmg done, -10% dmg taken, and +10% healing done. You dont really need expertise beyond that because boosting that stat to 600 will only give an additional 2% on the pvp stats.Instead, stop stacking expertise at 400 (soft cap). Then you need to get around 180-220 surge rating to be at 68%-72% crit multiplier. DO NOT stack surge beyond that rating, the effectiveness will drop exponentially. Wear 4 pieces of Rakata gear not to mention the bracer and waist to reach 1500-1600 Aim. Mod your gear to more +power items to have 500+ bonus dmg on ranged and 800+ bonus dmg on tech. Rakata weapon and offhand give 1224 tech power. Profit. (I was having the same issue critting at max to 3.5-3.8K geared with rakata bracer and waist, columi armor and weapons and pvp implants, relics, earpieces. Then i got my hands on rakata MH and OH, and 3/5 armor pieces. Now i crit for 4K, 4.4K with pvp/expertise buff. And I am reaching 300K dmg mark at least 3/5 games. I have 4 ranks to reach battlemaster and 2 pieces short of rakata gear to hit the 5K single hit dmg)

This... Made my life easier. However if you take the mouse away, my effectiveness drops to 20%.

HOW??? I'm not able to modify my pvp gear! If I Ctrl+RightClick , it just equips/unequips.

Also, I would like if JESTUNHI can share with us his item build also to do THAT http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/651/screenshot2012020918533.jpg/ Desperate to reach 5K crits .

To the OP, Can you be arsed to share your gear in detail? Including any change in mods that you made? Please be more specific than "Rakata/Columi gear".... I know it will take you a bit of time to set the post up but lots of BHs will thank you for it. I have also noticed you have BIOCHEM as a crew skill which is also contributing to your high crits/dmg. I'm in Champion/Rakata gear with original mods and I cannot crit past 4.1K with 15% expertise buff and relics turned on. What am i doing wrong???

It does look good on paper. PVE dps will be more systematic and reliable. However this will hurt PVP Pyrotechs.... Think about it. I rather have it as it is, since it is working as intended. Managing Heat Like a Baws.

I'm going with AIM 3/3 for a week now. I do see boost in my normal (non-crit) railshots and my DoTs. Mind you, this build is only viable for those who have 1300 Aim flat (unbuffed). Otherwise, stick to the 3% crit from the CGC buff.
