Nmaharg Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 subject states it. Depends on the spec. For annihilation I say Surge no doubt. I pop my surge trinket with berserk and have 1200 rupter dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lashlarue Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Wouldn't crit be the choice of Anni since it's so dependent on your crit bleeds? I guess it depends on whether you want your crits to hit harder (with surge) or hit more often (with crit chance). To me, crit chance is for anni, power is for rage, and surge is for carnage builds.

Well because berserk is up so often and it makes dots auto crit you will lose the benefit of all that extra crit. But the extra surge will always be used and often.

Lashlarue Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Not that I disagree with you, but with enough crit on your mods you could forgo Berzerk and go with Predation or something, depending on the situation. Not that you could get enough crit chance from mods to come anywhere near 100 percent, but it's a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobility in PvE shouldn't sacrifice much in terms of DPS. Even on movement fights a player can compensate for boss mechanics by knowing where to move. So improving your movement gameplay to overcome the loss of a boost in speed (also one in which you're going to use it in reaction to a mechanic) should be practiced so that you don't sacrifice your dps damage.

Retik Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 If your Rage spec go Power for uber Smash crits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arudius Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I went Power/Crit Rage spec and have a lot of success in PvP in warzones and open world. Although it doesn't matter what you stack unless you know what skills focus on your prefered spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithalike Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I've tried to keep something of a balance between the two of them actually... That siad doing the damage is slightly more important to me than how muh I might do... so probably crit. (Also I dont have a garuanteed hit ratio yet - its only at a general level of 97% - which means Crit is even more important as it is more likely to apply than a surge if I dont hit all the time.)

Crawfishies Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 well, let's say for a boss fight, how often or rather how fast can you bring up beserk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nmaharg Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 well, let's say for a boss fight, how often or rather how fast can you bring up beserk? Every 10 seconds or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibaken Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Considering the mods you can craft currently don't compare to the ones in PvE gear and the fact that being able to craft on-par mods through schematics from operations is iffy, at best, you may just want to stick with the balance of stats that come standard.

doombomb Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I go surge for my rage pvp spec. You're guaranteed a high damage crit, might as well make it even higher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotli Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) According to numbers Crit is better for rage than surge. Auto-crit smash don't get a big enough boost to off set the lesser damage from your other skills. As for Annihilation it depends on how much of your DPS comes from bleeds and how often you get the berserk bleeds running. Haven't got any numbers here, but I expect +crit to be better at lest for PvP, due to allowing you to use Pred instead of berserk. Though maybe +power might be better than both crit and surge.
