Rasheth Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) You will find at 50 there are 4 sets of gear choices. It all depends on what your role is and what you want to do and spec has to what choice you go. I use Survival gear has I am Kinetic(Tank) speced all the time. Although with the amount of extra gear that is dropping and or I am getting assigned I might be building a Stalker set too soon I have 2nd Columi Chest and Head tokens in my cargo hold right now just trying to see if they do a dual spec thing or not. I would not say I flew though levels. I did all the quests and things and went though the progress to get to 50. There was a ton more 50s than me when I made it. Never the less I found that with 4 to 5 hours of play you could gain a level easy from 40 to 50 and more lower. The point of it is that the game changes at 50 and what you are attempting is pretty well a waste of time and effort has below 50 your gear and things change all the time. Stop trying to come in the thread and act like you are teaching us. Duh yes most of us know the game changes at 50. You know how we know this? Experience and playing the game. This thread is good to make sure Im wearing comparable gear to others at my level. Oh you know another place the game changes? Like level 33 when most gear at least mods start carrying 4 stats i.e. willpower,endurance,crit,surge or power. I am new to MMO also and this thread is a good help obvously if people are still looking at it and its 5 pages long its not a waste. Notice the 50's that posted in this thread also? Plz stop trying to troll idiot. Edited February 9, 2012 by Rasheth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilirubin Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Anyway. When I ticked over to 47 I was at: Kinetic Combat (31/0/7) Strength = 102; Presence = 216; Aim = 51; Cunning = 49; Endurance = 950; Willpower = 821; Expertise = 0. Melee : Damage = 399-507; Bonus damage = 184.1; Accuracy = 91.38%; Critical chance = 12.29%; Critical multiplier = 50%. Force : Bonus damage = 281.5; Bonus healing = 101.0; Accuracy = 102.30%; Critical chance = 17.24%; Critical multiplier = 55.2%; Defense : Health = 11750; Armor rating = 4951; Damage reduction = 34.68%; Defence chance = 19.65%; Shield chance = 24.616%; Shield absorption = 22.77%. Since then I have (on Voss) started getting level appropriate resolve armouring (finally). I'm sure my stats are already very different from this.

I haven't been doing that because of this thread at all. I'm just trying to get a basic handle on how tweeks to certain stats affect other stats. I've been taking the best gear that I've found as I've leveled and done flashpoints. But if I WANTED to try to optimize my gear, well, I'm sitting on 400k in credits so it wouldn't be unreasonable. I think so far I have bought one item off the GTN, a nice purple resolve hilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I wasted a lot of credit, crafting, and time while leveling and spent coms and all on things that really did not mean much of anything. That is the point of not focusing on gear or buying it or going out of your way for it till you are 50. Now if the loot gods would just give me my Columi Offhand shield I could be very happy.

LoneWolf_pt Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) What the heck are you wearing Lonewolf? Those are some seriously strong defense/end stats. Well, have done all heroics quest on the 2 planets before the one i'm on atm (belsavis), and got some very good mods with tank stats. Also some from no heroic quests, but can't remember wich quests. And, so, instead of using the comendations on mods, that don't have much tank stats, imo, used them instead on modded gear and took out the 1/2 tank mods that i needed. Tank mods for me are mods with endurance, defense/shield chance and/or shield absorption. That don't mean i'm doing it right, i can be lacking on dps for aggro. But, more or less since lvl30, haven't been in the mood to stay looking at the walls on republic fleet to find a group to fp's (don't like to create groups/be party leader), so decided to stack more on defense stats to give my healer comp more time to heal me when solo figthing elites/champions. The fights will be a little longer, but will also give me more chances to train the use of my abilities, specially the long cooldown ones, and i like that. Probably i'm just crazy, but who cares. I don't. Edit : I also try to stay with gear close to the lvl i'm when i go to a new planet, so buying gear from gtn, light vendor, etc, if i have the money for. Specially ear, implants and generator gear and sometimes blue/purple mods if they are low priced. Edited February 11, 2012 by LoneWolf_pt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf_pt Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 What the heck are you wearing Lonewolf? Those are some seriously strong defense/end stats. In my previous post i forgot to say that i also have 3 points in a passive skill that gives me more 3% endurance. Anyway, i made a small video which shows my stats, gear and skill tree, so you can see why i have that amount of endurance and defense. Atm at lvl 44 and just arrived at Voss. Also remember i'm no expert on this stuff. I'm just doing things this way because it's what feels better to me. Video link : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyrgon Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Hi All, Level 50 Infil Shadow named Popkorn on Darth Bandon. I'm in 5/5 columi with the rakata earpiece and 2 rakata implants as well as Mastercrafted Rakata bracers and belt with +28 Power augments. Using Burning Force Relic as well as the Matrix Cube one. Columi Shadowsaber and OH as well. Here are my stats: Strength = 107 Presence = 227 Aim = 52 Cunning = 55 Endurance = 1575 Willpower = 1704 Expertise = 0 Melee : Damage = 825 - 1006 Bonus damage = 462.5 Accuracy = 97.77% Critical chance = 35.19% Critical multiplier = 81.49% Force : Bonus damage = 732.2 Bonus healing = 276.7 Accuracy = 107.77% Critical chance = 34.33% Critical multiplier = 81.49% Defense : Health = 18250 Armor rating = 3189 Damage reduction = 22.80% Defence chance = 10.00% Shield chance = 0 Shield absorption = 0 Hadn't really seen too many 50s post, just thought I'd give you some idea of what End Game stats would look like. I've sacrificed some Accuracy for surge, but I honestly don't find myself missing at all on Raid Bosses to even miss it.

Bilirubin Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) OK so I've been 50 for a week. I ran EV normal last week and for whatever reason didn't understand how the looting worked so I missed out on a lot. *d'oh* But how much difference a day can make...Started at this last night: http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/6452/beforeraids228.jpg Ran a few War Zones and finished my daily (won at Huttball!), and cashed the commendations that came in the champ bag in on a Centurion survivor implant (or motivator, I dunno, they have all the same specs). Fear my level 18 valor. Then my guild Ops. Went 5/5 EV and 4/5 KP (quitting due to the late hour) normal mode. Adding a new Tionese shield bought with accumulated tokens I ended the day like this: http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/4602/afterraids228.jpg I got 3 pieces of Columi Force Master gaining a bonus, and an awesome Columi main hand. I thought I also got a relic but apparently that was reserved for a guildmate. I now have a bunch of supernumerary mods/enhancements that I could swap in or out to bump crit or shield or whatever, but I'm still getting a handle on where those levels should ideally be. Getting closer to running HM ops I think. Edited February 29, 2012 by Bilirubin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YESWEKEN Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 reusable stims are the crafting skill "exclusive perk" for the Biochem skill right now. there are a couple kinds, I just use the basic consumable ones I get from the crew skill vendor RNG'ed into purple reusable.

I'm level 37, and I really like this post. I am not burning to 50, and I want to be useful in FPs and WZs along the way, so this post is very useful. To disregard that is pretty silly. Just because you don't find it useful at 50 means nothing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostInReverie Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 This thread has been really helpful to me. It's made me realize my armor rating is ridiculously low, which I never even noticed, and that is why I've felt a bit squishy lately, as you can see from my stats below... Level 38 Balance Shadow (3-6-20) Strength - 83 Presence - 190 Aim - 43 Cunning - 50 Endurance - 643 Willpower - 609 Damage - 291-361 Bonus Damage - 151.1 Accuracy - 90% Critical Chance - 16.93% Critical Multiplier - 55.11% Health - 8,000 Armor Rating - 1729 Damage Reduction - 18.67% Defense Chance - 14.11% As I'm more focused on DPS, I equip a force focus instead of a shield, but it's obvious I need to focus more on my armor rating.
