Hi, i am playing a sniper, alsmost since beta now. And with 2.0 the new Serendipitous relic seems very powerful.
So far bevor 2.0 i've been using a combo of my matrix cube and dark radiance relic for the best dps output.
But now i'm not really sure what combination is the best. The new Underworld Relic of Dark Radiance and the Underworld Relic of Serendipitous Assault might be a stronger combination that one of them with a matrix cube.
I mean the matrix cube still only hast 80 cunning, which equals about 20 bonus damage each hit and a fraction of a percentage with crit.
as far as i understand the dark radiance does 264 damage without damage reduction from armor, and it does this damage about every 4.5 to 8 seconds. depending on luck. In worst case (8s) this still means a dps of 33
and the serendipidous give us about 18 seconds of 1 minute huge burst of 550 power. i'm not sure how to calculate this but looking at the bonus damage boost and calculating the 18 sec spead through a minute still leaves more then 40 dps right?
so what do you think about this? is it most useful for snipers to use both underworld relics or is the matrix cube still the best and i am missing something?
Here are the 3 relics in question:
Underworld Relic of Dark Radiance
+98 Endurance
+32 Power
On Hit: Damaging attacks have a 30% chance to deal 264 additional internal Force damage to the target. This effect can only occur once every 4.5 seconds, and shares this limit with similar damage-dealing effects. It will not trigger inside of PvP areas.
Underworld Relic of Serendipitous Assault
+98 Endurance
+32 Power
On Hit: Healing an ally or performing a damaging attack on an enemy both have a 30% chance to grant 550 Power for 6 seconds. This effect can only occur once every 20 seconds, and shares this limit with similar healing or damaging effects. It will not trigger inside of PvP areas.
Matrix Cube
Red Red Red = 54 Endurance, 80 Cunning, 8 Critical Rating (M7-R3)
