Fossman Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Having trouble putting out competitive numbers in ops. at least vs our top marauder. hes beating me by 100-150k on total damage on kephess. Wondering what stats I should be focusing on. Currently sitting at buffed no stim: aim: 2002 power: 774 (607.3 bonus damage) crit: 328 (37.27%) accuracy: 222 (97.18%) Crit surge 326 (77.22%) wearing a mix of campaign/BH gear with campaign mainhand and offhand. All gear augmented with power and aim augs. Rotation open with unload>tracer x3>unload if proc>hsm>railshot>tracer till unload proc or HSM off CD>railshot and so on occasionally popping thermal sensor override and tossing in a fusion missle when heat hits 40+ Im able to top just about everyone else in my guild but this marauder. Parsing between 1300-1500 where as hes hitting 1600-1700. am I missing something? Tips advice?

You really want your accuracy at 100% and preferably at 104% so you do not miss offhand ticks. Your opener should be TM, the faster it stacks the better. Unload should only be used on proc. Consider some of the newer 6/31/4 or 7/31/3 builds that work Alacrity into the mix. I believe in testing it takes you from 26 activations per minute (APM) to 32 APM, which is a significant increase in DPS. 7/31/3 Alacrity Build. http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/skills/mercenary#2032-1f76d26e7le-d 6/31/4 Alacrity Build (experimental) http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/skills/mercenary#1032-1f76d26e7le-9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accuracy past 100% is pretty pointless since you would have to have so much that you would completely neglect all other secondary stats Edited July 3, 2012 by Areaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyronamics Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) 30% crit 75% surge 100% accuracy Unbuffed. Buffed, crit becomes 35% Divert all other possible stat points to power. When maxed or close to maxed you'll be capable of doing over 1700dps Edited July 3, 2012 by Gyronamics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyronamics Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 No. Use aim augments not power. There is no reason at all to replace aim with power if all you're doing is replacing them at a 1 for 1 point rate. If you gain much more power for the aim you lose then yes, it should be done but not if it's 1 for 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyronamics Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Don't bankrupt yourself over it. The difference in value is small but the ideal is aim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
