Thanks mate.

Since the PTS forum is not supposed to be used for asking questions about upcoming content. I'll post it here. 1. Is that saying the "new relics" do have "on hit" abilities that are usable in PVP? 2. Does anyone know what the passive stats are? I know the campaign ones are nerfed by 30-35%. (source Dulfy.net)

Yeah, the comparison is between pummeler and my current BM Implant. I.e Losing 51 crit for the 69 power. 69 power gives 15.87 DPS, 51 loss in Crit will be about 1.4% loss in Crit. The following is calculated by multiplying a 1.4% chance to Crit with the Surge Rating I have. The figure in the last column is the amount of DPS increase by having crit. Vicious Slash 2872 - 0.7875 - 0.014 - 31.6638 Slash 1545 - 0.7875 - 0.014 - 17.033625 Master Strike 4864- 0.7875 - 0.014 - 53.6256 I've tested what effect a reduction on DPS would have on the various abilities. For example a 23 decrease in Damage (Prim) reduce the max of Vicious slash by 32, master strike by 48 Before - After - Difference Vicious Slash 2823 - 2759 - 64 Master Strike 4786 - 4685 - 101 Slash 1518 - 1484 - 34 Translating into a reduction factor of 2.78 for Vicious Slash, 4.39 for Master Strike, 1.48 for Slash. In other words a 15.87 Increase in DPS will increase Damage of: Vicious Slash by 15.87x2.78 = 44.12 Master Strike by 15.87x4.39 = 69.67 Slash by 15.87x1.48 = 23.49 It would seem that power is more effective in DPS with my current stats.

Accuracy I currently have 95.61% Accuracy, and I'm wondering whether that is enough for the purposes of PVP. If not I would have to sacrifice Crit/Surge to compensate. For example upgrading BM implant to WH one will reduce strength by 14, reduce crit/surge by 51, but increase accuracy by 53 and power by 49. Crit v Power I am also having a debate on the whole Power v Crit thing. This is because alot of the War Hero Weaponmaster's gear has Power instead of Crit. I currently have 590 crit rating which gives me 17.67% Crit. Which makes it 33.39 Crit stat per percentage of Crit. My main hand gives me 630-792 damage, whilst my offhand gives me 214-321 damage. (Force Might Buff) My 1445 Strength gives me 9.73% Crit and along with the smuggler buff (which I unlocked) gives me 38.39% in Crit. Why I'm interested I am interested in the Crit v Power debate because upgrading from a Battlemaster Weaponmaster's Implant to another War Hero Implant will reduce my Crit by 51 and increase power by 69. At the same it will +5 strength, +6 expertise, +2 surge, -4 endurance. Similarly a move from my current BM Helmet to a WH one will: -4 strength, +19 endurance, +10 expertise, +2 accuracy, -48 crit, +61 power. The question is really whether a loss in Crit is compensated with 61 power for a Watchman in PVP.

Alright, guess either another (none dps) relic or earpiece/implant then.

Approaching nearly 200 daily commendations again, was wondering if I should get another dps relic. My first one was the internal damages one, I notice it says the effect will not happen for 4.5 seconds and this will affect all similar relics. The question is I suppose is it still worth it to get a second one, it seems to me its an additional 30% chance to hit 184/241. Thanks in advance.

Mmm, that is interesting. Campaign Relic of the Cerulean Nova On Hit: Damaging attacks have a 30% chance to deal 246 additional energy damage to the target. This effect can only occur once every 4.5 seconds, and shares this limit with similar damage-dealing effects. Campaign Relic of Elemental Transcendance On Hit: Damaging attacks have a 30% chance to deal 184 additional elemental damage to the target. This effect can only occur once every 4.5 seconds, and shares this limit with similar damage-dealing effects. So it appears the gap between the two is 62 damages or roughly a quarter of the damages capable of being dealt by a kinetic/energy relic.

At long last, just got my 200 daily tokens. Was wondering which relic I should pick. I hear that energy/kinetic damage are mitigated by armor and hence internal/elemental damage would do more damage against PVE bosses and I suppose in PVP. But anyways guys, which relic should I pick.
