Pondara Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 So I am playing a DPS vanguard, Assault spec, and I would like to know if there is a set stat priority for us yet in relation to crit/surge/power, and also what is the amount of accuracy need to reach the hit cap? I have looked around, but without a combat log, accurate theory-crafting info is hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunrock Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) crit is chance to crit. surge is how big the crit can be power is bonus damage Alacrity reduce your cast time and your push back. Personally I would go for crit + surge before power and alacrity. PS: ability attacks always have 100% to hit. You only need to care about aim when you use your default attack. But you want to stack Aim anyway as that adds to your base damage too. Edited January 9, 2012 by Sunrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evenflow Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I would think you'd want as little alacrity as possible. We don't have enough channeled abilities to really be affected by alacrity. Plus you aren't likely to chain them so you're more likely to just run out of ammo. I haven't tested any of this so please feel free to dispute my beliefs.

Ramurdyne Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Alacrity pretty useless, power might be better for vanguard tactics seeing how its steady damage not burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pondara Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Well, I was mainly curious as to power vs crit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ururururu Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) aim > all. by far.endurance if you pvp or pve-tank is quite good. that makes most of your gear choices right there. from there crit or surge is best.. crit > surge until your average crit rage is ~50-66%. then stack surge. power, shield chance (helps regen), absorption are the next stats. --- above may vary a bit for hardmode tanking.. haven't done that yet.
