Enkaizu Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 So after grinding out daily commendations I took a look at what I would be getting and noticed something odd about the Rakata Earpiece. Before I go on, I had the Fervor Reflex Enhancement Device which is craftable by cybertechs. Which was the epic version of http://www.torhead.com/schematic/1lzWTMY/reflex-enhancement-adaptor. The stats of the epic version were as follows 62 Aim (Augmented to 90 Aim) 52 Endurance 69 Accuracy 65 Critical + augment slot for 28 aim vs the rakata eliminator 85 Aim 98 Endurance 51 Accuracy 51 Critical No augment slot. If augmented, the lvl 49 epic Reflex Adaptor (with Fervor prefix) gives +5 Aim, +18 Accuracy, and +14 Critical rating while only losing 46 endurance. From purely a dps standpoint, the lvl 49 epic Fervor Reflex is better. I'm not going to turn this into a /hate thread but this is just silly to me. I don't really care because an upgrade is an upgrade but I wanted to make the BH community aware of this so they don't waste time grinding out daily commendations for a sub-par piece of gear and to possibly have the BW team see this in effort to improve itemization in the future. If anyone else have found weird gearing "issue" like this I would like to know as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisz_Rethon Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 wow, a crafted item that is actually better than a commendation item? Making a profession viable at hl? I say keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argolith Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) wow, a crafted item that is actually better than a commendation item? Making a profession viable at hl? I say keep it that way. I concur.. it's fairly difficult to craft one of those with an augment slot. It's not like there are hundreds of them on the AH and are dirt cheap. I think the trade-off of End vs DPS stats is a good option. Edited February 13, 2012 by Argolith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is until you start doing HM and Nightmare Ops and realize you are the only DPS left that's still only got 15k health and are getting f'ed up by various boss mechanics. But I concur, if I wasn't looking at the long view, I'd take the more DPS route everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a crafted ear piece presently and still sit at 18500 hp Edit: fixed language to clarify. Edited February 13, 2012 by Chorusgirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insanesenator Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 "BH's have retarded damage reduction" I know you meant that BH's have good damage reduction, but ignoring the "boo hoo offensive" term, retarded actually means slowed or hampered, so it kinda had the opposite effect you wanted.

Considering that 2min cooldown isn't something that used more than once or twice during boss fight, and considering that it stinks in comparison with Sith Warior's... Yeah, "retarded" is the right word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
