Wolverrine Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'm currently using Rakata Relic of Boundless Ages & Relic of Echoing Introspection. I'm looking at switching out the 2nd for either another Boundless Ages or a Rakata Relic of Forbidden Secrets. Which would be better? Or would my Matrix Share of 58 str, 50 end, 24 crit better? Currently my gear is near equal to the Gear you can get with the shards with funny names Tiwanese, Columai, Rakata. My str is 1400, so I just don't think that those little stats on the Matrix Cube really would be much improvement? Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibblets Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Personally I perfer the flat out stats from the Matrix cube and use it, my other relic is the use gives 355 power for 20 sec. I did pick up the Plasma Burst Device from Karaggas Palace today. It has a 30% chance to do 168 elemental damage with a 4.5 sec internal CD, I'm not completely sure if it is worth using over a use relic, but I will probably stick with it since I tend to forget to pop the relic. Anyways if it was me I'd stick with the Matrix cube and the use trinket with the buff you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The power one i generally save for Zen (when i can) and the crit / surge one i roll as soon as its off CD. The best thing about the relics is they can be used when you know you have a burn phase, or a decent amount of time on your target. These are easily BiS for most situations - but the plasma would probably give great sustained on bosses that you just sit there and smack (council, karagga and bonetrasher) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know I guess I'll play around with it & see... I'd so kill for a combat log and/or dps log/meter.

I've been 400 Artifice for over a month & I've yet to have anything crit & was begining to think nothing from Artifice could crit. Also I'm Combat not Watchman.

Nibblets Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'd so kill for a combat log and/or dps log/meter. You and me both. I think they have some sort of personalized dps meter planned, thats what I've heard atleast, but it might be some time before that is implamented.

I'd love an on hit one but I don't have it yet so in the mean time I'm looking at this for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeetesSixFive Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Before my on hit one I used a champion power one I believe cause I haven't gotten the matrix cube yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeetesSixFive Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Any rakata gear, besides biochems and cybertechs on use things I think, can have an augment slot in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
