RobbyMcdonald Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) I am wondering if the champion 48 expertise is better than having my matrix cube. Should I keep 1 champion and my matrix or 2 champions for pvp? Edited February 15, 2012 by RobbyMcdonald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahoff Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Ultimately when you hit the expertise softcap, it'd be better to use the Matrix cube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slashtwo Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 It is preference, the 48 expertise is a marginal gain. The real bonus of having a second usable relic is the amount of burst that it would afford you whereas the matrix cube would give you an overall stat boost. Really what you should be doing is using an adrenal or getting a warzone red buff when you use that relic. Greater overall stats or more frequent burst are the tradeoffs.

venjinze Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I personally use a champ relic and a matrix cube... no sense in having 2 as they share cool downs, if you are missing some expertise it might make sense. A lot of people equip the rakata/columi ones if you have full PvP gear. Right now I am over 600 expertise so I'll be swapping out PvP gear for better stated PvE gear.

If you have over 600 expertise then you should know that they only share a 20 second cooldown. Not a full duration one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbyMcdonald Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 With 1 champ relic(Power) and the matrix cube I am sitting at 602 expertise. I also have the adrenals rakata power/crit/surge. So I should stick with this setup instead of another champ relic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I should stick with this setup instead of another champ relic? You can actually afford to dump even more expertise. The soft cap starts kicking in somewhere around ~500 (the per point value of expertise gets HAMMERED at about 525) so I'd consider subbing out your Champion Power Relic for the Columi equivalent because it'll give you a heap of extra endurance, which is great in PvP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnSixteen Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 ... no sense in having 2 as they share cool downs Not entirely true. Using 2 of the SAME relics share cooldowns. Otherwise, 2 separate champion relics can be used 30 seconds apart. As a healer, I use the +power one and the +alacrity one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
