Wikkid Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I haven't worried to much about min/maxing all of my gear, but I'm curious what other people are using for Earpiece and Implants for Mercenary PVE DPS. I'm currently using critically crafted pieces (forget which earpiece, but Expert Reflex implants) with +28 aim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamfed Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I haven't worried to much about min/maxing all of my gear, but I'm curious what other people are using for Earpiece and Implants for Mercenary PVE DPS. I'm currently using critically crafted pieces (forget which earpiece, but Expert Reflex implants) with +28 aim. I can tell you now at 28 aim that is nowhere near BIS. Mine is a green and has over 50 aim with crit and accuracy and endurance. I'll be RE'ing I can imagine much higher numbers especially when I crit the aug version.

SlevinKalevra Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 What's BiS? From context I assume it stands for Best in Show but that just seems silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthBloodloss Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Close....Best in Slot The Best Ear and Implants are all Crafted Columi with an Augment Slot. The are slightly better than the Rakata versions IMO. The Columi w/ Augment will have a slightly higher Aim stat, and maybe a slightly lower Crit or something, can't remember the exact difference right now. But I have a both a Rakata and Columi/Augment earpiece and I use Columi. To Craft the Columi stuff, they looted a rare schematic in an Op, looted the Biometric Crystals (easier but still semi rare) and then crafted and got a Crit. There are tons of people who can use these items so there won't be many for sale on the galactic trade. If they are, expect them to be the most expensive items for sale, at around 500k-1mil. Your more likely scenario is to do daily quests on ilum and belsavis, save up 120 daily commendations, and buy the Rakata Ear/Implant from the vendor on ilum. These have huge bonuses and can be bought after doing dailies for a week or so. Edited February 16, 2012 by DarthBloodloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakner Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Rakata ones from the dailies. Really? I actually replaced mine after I got Columni because of the 50+ Alacrity in it. I went with a Mastercrafted power/crit/surge one and put a +28 end Aug to make up the hp loss. All that alacrity was making me explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthBloodloss Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Rakata ones from the dailies. Columi (with Augment): 80 AIM +28 = 108 AIM 93 END 48 ACC 48 POW Rakata: 85 AIM +0 = 85 AIM 98 END 51 ACC 51 CRIT 23 More Aim. Columi = Better. Really?

Brakner Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) There's ones with accuracy instead of alacrity. To late, I like to close my eyes and click on things , it makes for more surprises Actually I purchased it 3 to 4 weeks ago before had a 100% grasp of what affects what on a Mercenary. I could make a ticket like everyone else! I clicked the wrong thing!!! Ok maybe not….. Edited February 16, 2012 by Brakner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what your stacking, but most people don't like alacrity because it just makes you burn through your energy/mana/heat faster rather than just making you hit harder. The Rakata one is definitely a lot easier to get. The columi schematic is a rare drop from operations. But you can get a Rakata one by doing dailies for 5 days (25 per day x 5 days) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faloma Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I just use the 2x rakata daily implants... As ears go I use the crit crafted ones... I cant remember what the prefix and suffix were but it was the crit ones of hawkeye I think They have: 50AIM 60 ACC 40POW 25 Crit 40-50 surge then +28 aim in aug Since the rakata ones don't have any power 78aim + 40 power is greater then what 105 aim? and they are a lot easier to get then the Columi ones warning: going off top of head on stats might be wrong somewhere but over all concept remains true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
