mattnaik Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 It seems almost all gear from quest rewards has critical rating increases. I remember reading somewhere that as watchman speced, we should be focusing on +Power. Is that true? Can someone actually give me a mathematical explanation as to why one would be better than the other? Does +crit apply to burn effects as well? If so this helps with both Searing Saber and Merciless Zeal. Up to this point I have been focusing on increased crit (at about 18% at lvl 27), but wondering if I would be better served with +Power gear.

McDaniels Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 No. Crit and surge is better for watchman. I like to use a surge adrenal when I pop zen for big crits on my burns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErisktheRed Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Crit and Surge, and then accuracy (for PvP esp). I used crit then power until 30s when you could get surge and then pretty much power fell out all together. But the bonus dmg from Power isn't as much really as boost crit/surge gives overall for Watchman. I mean it's nice to have power/bonus dmg, but I think you'll find crit/surge doing more for dmg output with Watchman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeetesSixFive Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Power has such a small conversion it feels, so crit/surge combo becomes better. And I did a hardmode last night and had 100% accuracy and I didnt see any misses or parry. Not sure about ops yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
