jjmartin Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I've been looking at this for the last day or so, and can't reach a conclusion. I figured I'd put it up here. The WH Gear isn't much of an upgrade over BM, and it occurred to me that it might just be better until Ranked WZs to just keep buying BM pieces to get optimal mods. However, I'm not real deep on stats and all that, so I'm not sure what mods I need for my Combat Medic. IIRC, there are 6 Mod and 6 Enhancement slots...not in game atm, so that may be 6/5. So, which mods do I want? Constraints: Don't want Alacrity. Want about 15k HP. Would be nice to crit a MedProbe for 5k. Keep original Armorings for set bonus. Thanks to anyone who has already figured this out. Here's a list of the available mods and enhancements: MODS Advanced Nimble Mod 25 Aim 48 End 29 Exp 25 Crit 37 Advanced Nimble Mod 25a Aim 61 Endurance 37 Exp 25 Crit 11 Advanced Agile Mod 25 Aim 48 End 29 Exp 25 Power 37 Advanced Agile Mod 25a Aim 61 End 37 Exp 25 Power 11 ENHANCEMENTS Advanced Savant Enhancement 25 End 40 Exp 25 Power 20 Ala 51 Advanced Quick Savant Enhancement 25 End 24 Exp 25 Pow 37 Ala 51 Advanced Insight/Volition Enhancement 25 End 24 Exp 25 Crit 37 Ala 51 Advanced Battle/Adept Enhancement 25 End 24 Exp 25 Crit 37 Surge 51 Advanced Initiative Enhancement 25 End 24 Exp 25 Acc 51 Pow 37 Advanced Acute/Finesse Enhancement 25 End 24 Exp 25 Acc 51 Crit 37 Advanced Poficient Enhancement 25 End 40 Exp 25 Acc 51 Pow 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easpeak Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) The "default" set of BM gear is actually quite decent: only thing I'd change is that I would not get the Combat Medic assault cannon but the Eliminator one instead (it has power instead of crit) and when you have all those then I'd just get the crit crafted orange gear for augments. You won't be hitting 5k heals without relics and even then it's going to be mostly on yourself - we are far better at healing ourselves than we are healing others. But you will be healing decently and with the right build you can pull off 1.2 advanced probes and 1.6 healing probes. You'll have around 16k-16.5k HP depending on if you have been hunting datacrons or not Edited May 16, 2012 by Easpeak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zykklon Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) I just reached 50 and would be grateful for a quick overview of what i want for my equips (for a CM). ATM i have this: http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/8d20eb9a-d9b0-429a-88c8-bfc7f85e476c I was thinking to drop the armstech (quite useless) and get armormech (craft my WH set with +augment), and in the mean time just farm commendations to a full BM set. The WH is a good set ? need change some mods, or the stats are ok ? What i should look for the augments ? Thanks for the tips (and sorry for the terrible english) Edit: oh before dropping Armstech, there's something i should craft ?

Easpeak Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) The craftable WH set is just an empty shell (like regular orange gear) you'll want to just concentrate on getting a full BM set. Start with the slots where you dont have any expertise at all: mainhand, helmet, legs. Edited May 16, 2012 by Easpeak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easpeak Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 So i need buy the WH items to use the mods on the crafted set ? Yes, only way you get Quality 61 (the mods in War Hero gear) is to first grind BM item and then grind some more to swap the BM one for a WH one. it's pointless and the benefits are really small. If you have the time or have someone that already has armormech then I would still craft the augmented orange gear (although it does not have to be the WH skin per say) and use 18 aim and 12 endurance mods in it. So if I was you: I would get augmented orange gear, advanced reflex augments, grind full BM, strip BM mods and put them in the orange gear with augments. And then I would start grinding WH, not before. BM and WH difference is negligible compared to the comm grind you'd have to do. Combat medic gear is well enough itemized, except I would take the Eliminator cannon instead of the CM one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
