yoomazir Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 The guide should be updated with changes coming in 1.4. No I cannot elaborate further without getting into any trouble. Lets just say you all will be pleased. I'm willing to toss MY diginity for a quick glimpse of what is coming, come on, it'll be a quicky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerro Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Quick question Aerro, will we get any benefit for pvp, either pyro or arsenal? You know I can't answer that! Edit: Now I can since they released some information -Mercenaries and Commandos now have a 30-meter interrupt, Disabling Shot. This ability interrupts the target's current action and prevents that ability from being used for the next 4 seconds. This ability can be trained at level 18. -Tracer Lock/Charged Barrel: Now each stack additionally reduces the activation time of your next Healing Scan/Advanced Medical Probe by 20% per stack.

Jaspless Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Dumb question... Does using the instant heal (with a 5 "tracer lock" stack) actually consume the tracer locks, like it does when you use Rail shot? If so, then I assume this "buff" was put in place to help PvP's... ?

Henu Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 It does consume the Tracer Lock stacks, so it was intended for mostly PvP usage. Im looking froward to seeing this change in PVP, having that 3rd instant heal will really piss off some other classes tho imo. We can use WZ med pack, 35% of our health back, power surger + heal 3500 - 4500k health and now this with again 3500 - 4500k health. thats what 13 - 14k health back? in a few seconds of kiting behind a wall..

acnoj Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 1.4 BiS list coming soon! Hey Aerro, interested to see what you come up with. Have to see the stats form any ear pieces yet? That's the only thing missing from my BiS list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acnoj Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 We're 4/5 HM TFB on the PTS, and have yet to see any sort of ear pieces drop :/ Awww nuts, and my current Ear has all the wrong stats for the 1.4 set, it's got crit/surge when it needs power/accuracy. So getting Best-in-Slot will mean getting a lot of extra weapons for the mods, and boots for the enhancements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only thing missing from my BiS list. What is the DPS parsing for your BiS list with simc? Mine is at 1958, which I'm not sure if thats even right. This is without a stim though. The stats are (adding in stim): Aim: 2382 Power: 1075 Accuracy: 100.27% (can probably drop an Acc enhance) Crit: ~37.8% adding in Stim Surge: 76.28% I guess I could drop an Acc/Power enhance for a Power/Surge... but I'm not quite sure. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think? Quoting since new page started. Also, the sim is not taking into account the 1% crit and surge you gain from companions.

acnoj Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yeah you have to go to legacy and tick on the companion buffs, and you need to go to datacrons and tick those on. I don't have a BiS profile for 1.4 because Ask Mr Robot hasn't updated. Obviously you can see the stats for the mods and implants are correct, but I don't know if that Ear Piece is real or just excess junk from 1.3 data mining. I suppose though that if the overall stats are correct that's the main thing. I know it's being pedantic but.... Taking one extra crit mod (+44 crit, -44 power) gives you 1.4 more DPS. I checked 88 more crit, that's very slightly worse. Also, it's funny but one point of critical reaction and one point of systems calibrations used to give more DPS than 2 points of critical reaction...and now it doesn't. Not sure what's going on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerro Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yeah there seems to be A LOT going on that was different than before. I'm not sure. I'm not too worried since every single piece of our gear is poorly itemized... so that means I need like 6 damn gloves and a bunch of other pieces >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raekor Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 What site are you doing the simulations with? I don't have a BiS list to try, but I refuse to PvP so have done something weird with my gear (and still only have a 61 ear as I didn't trust the ones that were shown) that I would like to see how the higher weapon and bonus damage compares: http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/b46c2656-5a71-41b2-9683-47cf1297282d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerro Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 We use simulation craft, which is pretty reliable as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acnoj Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Raekor it's called Simulation Craft. http://code.google.com/p/simulationcraft-swtor/ I figured out what's going on with the Alacrity. Alacrity improves DPS up until you overcome lag, then there's a small dip where your casts no longer line up to fill the 15 second gap between Rail Shots and Heat Seekers. So past that point more Alacrity gives you less DPS for a bit and then still more Alacrity gives you a boost again. I'll run a plot overnight (it's freaking slow) so you can see the curve. Of course the amount of lag you have is dependent on the player, so it's impossible to pin down the exact sweet spot for Alacrity.

Raekor Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Thanks. That was the one I went to, but I was being a bit blind and didn't see the download button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raekor Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I probably did something wrong, but it came up with 1948 over 1000 iterations, low ping, and a player skill of good (no way am I elite lol). Running the same but changing skill from good to elite got 2007. I saw no option to add the stim, so I assume that is without one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some different options to turn on, just click around and you'll end up finding it. Its what I had to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
