Vaahanian Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 So while I've been questing on Voss, I've been noticing quest reward options of greens that both have str and power on them (for simplicity sake, assume all stats are same except for str and power between them). I'm curious about how much of a stat jump would power need to prioritize taking power over strength. Both increase dmg done, but is it like 1 str = 3 pow? Would love to know if anybody out there has numbers on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergulch Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 You should be able to find this out for yourself,if you have 2 pieces of gear (same gear slot) just record the stats before and after equipping each piece.I'd do it for you buy I stopped doing math when I graduated in 1987 lol.

Vaahanian Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 True true, but then it has to be considered if the gains are linear or exponential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaahanian Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 I haven't crunched numbers (not a math major) but I'm going to assume our primary stat (strength) is linear and our secondary stats are going to be exponential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaahanian Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Finally hit 50 and did my belsavis dailies. Rewards had quite a few mods with high str and high power. Being a cybertech I can craft mods with higher str but lower pow. Would seriously love any number crunchers out that that know the ratio of equivalency or links to that information would be greatly appreciated.

Bloodymoon Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 - The bonus damage from Strength and Power seem to have no DR- The crit from Strength seems not be affected by DR- 1 Strength is VERY roughly 0,7-0,8 Power and 0,3-0,4 crit That is how far my own observation went - I tested it via my power and crit/surge relics (checked the rating and values before and after the relic use).

Vaahanian Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Awesome, thank you thank you thank you. So to make things easy we will just say 1 str = .75 pow and .35 crit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sthawy Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 How valid are this numbers? 1 str = ~7.5 power? has anyone else been testing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hizoka Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) 5 STR = 4 power roughly however 5str also has about 3 ish crit Edited January 25, 2012 by Hizoka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystexodus Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'm not online but from what I remember last looking at my Character sheet ~1250 strength or so netted me ~250 bonus damage, and ~400 power netted me ~100 bonus damage. So I if neither of these are affected by DR, how is 5 STR ~ 4 POW ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaeTakbae Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 People need to realize that they are diminishing returns. What that means is that the more of one stat you have the less you get from it. The more Crit Rate you have the less crit % you get per crit rate. This applies to everything.

Bloodymoon Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Power has no DR, the bonus damage part of Strength imho also not. However, my other post in this thread is no 100% correct. 1 Strength will give you the same bonus damage as 0.75 Power and 1 Strength will also give you a little bit crit. The crit from Strength also does not share the same DR as crit from Crit Rating. However, it really is very litte and has a DR. Currently, I would need 149 Strength for 1% crit.

ChaeTakbae Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Power has no DR. Power has DR, its simple math click C go to Force go to "Power" (Not Force Power that is from your light sabers) Divide your power by the bonus damage it gives you. You will see that it has DR.

Tumri Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 1 power = .23 bonus damage It has no DR. Certain skills/spells have power coefficients that increase it's usefulness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegettopk Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 1 power = .23 bonus damage 1 strength = .2 bonus damage and about .007% crit%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zYNNN Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 At lower gear lvls Str > Power. AT higher gear lvls Power > Str. One you get to around 25%- 30% Crit, Power > Str. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elicious Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Power has DR, its simple math click C go to Force go to "Power" (Not Force Power that is from your light sabers) Divide your power by the bonus damage it gives you. You will see that it has DR. How would this tell you if power has DR? All this would tell you is the coefficient of power to damage. You would have to remove several pieces of power gear and find the coefficient again. If that changes, then it has DR. But simply dividing the 2 numbers alone does not give you enough information.

elicious Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 At lower gear lvls Str > Power. AT higher gear lvls Power > Str. One you get to around 25%- 30% Crit, Power > Str. Too bad high end gear favors accuracy and crit. All 5 set pieces of rakata have accuracy and rakata ear piece has accuracy too. Both of my columi implants also have accuracy. With 4 pieces of rakata gear I've got over 300 accuracy and over 500 crit but only around 100 power and 250ish surge. I don't think I've seen any power/surge enhancements that i could rip from columi gear either. I might have to look at the other classes columi vendors and see if they have any power/surge enhancements. Kind of lame that the game requires you take other classes armor pieces to properly gear up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Columi gloves have crit surge... still I don't understand why the level 23, 24 and 25 enhancements and mods are pretty much unattainable. Essentially I need to get like 6 glove tokens in order to get all the proper mods and enhancements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially I need to get like 6 glove tokens in order to get all the proper mods and enhancements. I have plenty of crit/surge enhancements from my old columi pieces, but like I said, I've already got way too much crit and not enough power. I want power/surge enhancements which I have none of.

miliways Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 If you press C and open up your character sheet, and them mouse over your stats, you can see EXACTLY what each one is contributing. So put on piece of armor A, and look at your strength, and how much +dmg it says its doing. Also, you can just look at the overall damage you deal on your character sheet. Also, you're misusing the word exponential. Multiplying by a constant is not exponential growth, that is linear as well. >_< Learn2Math Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exertim Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) The bounty hunter fight in HM/NM Karagga's Palace drop lvl 58 power/surge enchantment. I have one of them socketed into my gear right now. Aside from that, I haven't seen any power/surge enchants.
