So I have the best in slot gear for a concealment Op atm. Or so I think. What should I be using for the relics? Atm I have been using matrix cube and the Dark Energy Surge internal damage proc. Should I still be using the matrix cube or switch to a /use and a proc relic? Unbuffed I have 1772 cunning(1 pt in imperial education) Edited by Robpwnz

I like the matrix cube, butit only adds about 1.5% damage.

 

I think the power up relics are better as typically they give 10% more damage each while up. Though they are a hassle to use.

 

I haven't really tried the dot relics, but i think they are better again.

 

The best advice is to get daily commendations though so you can get the 1.2 relics though :D

Power Relics will give a variable depending on how good your gear is (at least for my character , power contribution from 118-205 changing the total tech attack from 772.1 to 859.7 which is about 11.3%) the worse gear you have the better power relics will look percentage based. The main thing to remember is that power relics will ONLY be active for 15/120 which gives about (from your reported 10%) will only yield an overall change in damage of 1.25% for the rakata level. Since the power difference is not that large between the two (380-405 I think) it would be safe to assume that yes the matrix cube is still better pve, PvP would be a little trickier to figure out.

So I want to use a matrix cube and a power relic? or use matrix + dark energy surge for the internal damage proc?

 

Damaging attacks have a 30% chance to deal 168 additional internal damage to the target. This effect can only occur once every 4.5 seconds, and shares this limit with similar damage-dealing effects.

 

Well to test this I mapped out 10 attacks which would give me an approximate 97% proc rate. I took the damage and divided it (in each section) by the attack number added by 3 (for the attack time delay). I then took these numbers and multiplied them by their respective exact chance to proc to give the damage contribution per attack for each attack numbered from 1 thru 10. I then summed up the value which gave us the 30.06 damage added per attack, or 20.04 dps added. Assuming a DPS of 1400 is "normal" you get about a 1.43% increase in damage from that trinket. which is better than the power contribution ones currently.

^ Made from the assumption that the proc cannot crit and is independent of character scaling.

 

As for the contribution from the matrix cube, it depends on your class and where your primary attribute is. currently by removing my matrix cube I would lose .62% crit and 15.6 on +Tech Damage (753.7-738.1) which is about a 2% increase in +Tech damage. Ranged damage will also be affected by this as well but it is a higher value due to weapon contributions so it will most likely drop down to around 1.5% but I never looked at it.
