ButterStrawKid Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 im biochem 400 for its rakatim stim/adrenals (rakata medpac is useless). I'm tempted to drop biochem for armortech due being able to reverse engineer eng game ger and be able to crit craft the item after. So is it worth it drop drop a 136cunning +55 power stim and a 565 power adrenal for the could be crit crafted armor of armortech in 1.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthdubstep Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 i heard the Stims were getting nerfed in 1.2, so it will probably be worth it. Yay for putting a whole bunch of time effort into something thats pretty much going to be on par with stuff you can buy from a vendor now!!! Yayyyyy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wessik Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) i haven't heard that stims will be nerfed at all, but note however: - the current reuseables will still be here after 1.2, however there will no new reuseable schematics. in time, BW will make it that newer craftable stims will be better than what we have now so the players will eventually abandon them - the new change for stims in 1.2 is that you can only use 1 per active fight... they heal the same, however, you have to get out of combat first and then you can use the stim again in a new fight... to answer OP, if you want to try and make some new money, you could drop biochem... however, if you like min maxing your stats to have an edge in combat, you can keep it... i personally am going to keep biochem...

There is nothing from BioChem that gives you a min/max edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclopean Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Yes, I have dropped Biochem and picked up Armormech. Exotech Skills Stims are better than rakata and are able to be traded, warzone adrenals beat power adrenals, and warzone medpacks are better than it's rakata counterpart as well. Biochem only have viability if you want to save money. Edited April 11, 2012 by Cyclopean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wessik Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 There is nothing from BioChem that gives you a min/max edge. i like having an additional 104 cunning + 43 power to use, free of charge, any time i want http://db.darthhater.com/recipes/2578/reusable_hyper_battle_skill_stim/#produces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tell me again where Biochem is better for min/maxing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButterStrawKid Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 so basically if i have the creds i could drop biochem and grab armormech and just exotech stims/adrenals ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wessik Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Exotech > Rakata for BioChem and anyone can use Exotech. So tell me again where Biochem is better for min/maxing? i don't pve at all... are they re useable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisatihane Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Exotech > Rakata for BioChem and anyone can use Exotech. So tell me again where Biochem is better for min/maxing? r they reusable? As wessik points out reusable "care free" bio stims/adrenals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wessik Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 another point i'd like to make is that warzone stims has increased from 10 to 20 comms to buy for each one... and currently warzones are only rewarding 20-30 comms (for a loss) and 70-90 comms (for a win) so it may not be worth it to buy them anymore... thus making it even more worth it to have re useable stims... (i'm not arguing against exotech, if people like em, to each their own) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nToxiK Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 i don't pve at all... are they re useable? That's not min/maxing. Min/Maxing is doing whatever it takes to put out the most DPS regardless of cost. Biochem is currently about saving some credits by using consumables but at the same time you are nerfing yourself because the consumables are not even the best in the game stats-wise.

nToxiK Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 r they reusable? As wessik points out reusable "care free" bio stims/adrenals. They are not re-useable but they have a 2-hour duration that persist through death and have better stats than Rakata re-useables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
