DarkSanta Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'm wondering how much expertise a healer should aim for, at the moment i'm trying to stack as much expertise which will result in getting about 1370ish expertise for the survivability or is it wiser to for example use power crystals in the weapons and a matrix cube? How much should I aim for in general? I'm a BH in full augmented warhero gear so basically all that is left is to optimize my stats. If anyone has any constructive views about this I'd greatly appreciate that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenstar Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Stacvk as much expertise as you can possibly get on a healer, it'll be your primary defensive stat. With the way Expertise scales right now, you won't get into serious DR until ~1600 expertise. Then get your crit to ~30% unbuffed, surge to ~75%, and stack any remaining points into power/primary stat. You primary stat + power both scale linearly (i.e. they don't have soft caps) so they'll ALWAYS be a good choice once you get into soft caps on expertise/crit/surge.

DarkSanta Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 At the moment I'm aiming for 35% cirt unbuffed since in my opinion crit is important in pvp for the burst healing, i thought DR didn't seriously kick in until after 35%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aetou Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Personally I prefer to keep my Expertise around 1200 and then stack more Endurance to give me a bit more of a buffer when I get focused. Having 18-19k health is nice, especially when it comes to things like Warzone Medpacs and then EMP refreshing UHs - at 29% I still have 6k health left, which becomes 8-9k when I hit EMP.

DarkSanta Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 So stack it or not? Equip matrix cube or another WH relic // Powercrystals or expertise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-RANDLE Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) So stack it or not? Equip matrix cube or another WH relic // Powercrystals or expertise 1. POW/END CRYSTALS. The top end ones... 2. Martix Cube is "BiS" but I like the two Campaign relic combo. One defensive, one "offensive". Each on different CD's. As you start getting WH, swap mods.

DarkSanta Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'm full augmented war hero at the moment, reached the crit/surge cap and basically stacking power now with expertise, just want to know how far i should go whilest neglecting other stats. Also, i dont see why a campaign relic is better than a warhero relic, you trade 40 endurance for 57 expertise, the proc is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emartell Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I've been struggling with this. The dR on healing after 1100 vs the damage reduction. I'm tempted to drop to 1200 and stack power because it gets me closer to campaign for a one size fits all gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a healing perspective you are already past the "soft" cap on EXP. Most think the cap is between 1000-1100 (I think its more like 800-900). So if you remove the two WH relics you will be at 1100+EXP, but gain +80END. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancelotOC Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 If you follow the equations from the various websites it seems stacking expertise as high as possible is the best way. With the gear available the only item that becomes questionable is teh matric cube vs. a WH cube. I think they only way to answer this is to actually do the math. You have to keep in mind that Endurance is great but damage reduction, especially against mutiple enemies focusing you, may be better . Always calculate for extreme situations. For example you are stunned and getting beat on by three people. Which scenario gives you the better chance to survive that? Endurance or Expertise damage reduction. Well considering how hard people hit damage reduction , even in small amounts, should add up to more. Again though I think the best way is to reach for the equation on this one as the MAtric cube is very sexy for a healer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
