Khasur Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I only have three skill points left. Should I get Defensive Forms and 1 point into Steadfast or put all three points into Steadfast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlznSmri Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Defensive Forms > Steadfast. Steadfast only increases accuracy which as Watchmen that isn't as important since the majority of your damage comes from your burns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealios Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Defensive forms is a must imo. For PvE you take if you don't hate your healer and in PvP it's an absolute lifesaver in the aoe spam in some warzones. I usually put maybe 1 or 2 points in steadfast if I think I'm low on accuracy, but even with WH or BH/Campaign gear you won't be on low accuracy to quick if you didn't swap any mods out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khasur Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Ok thanks. That's what I was leaning towards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagunaD Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) I am pretty sure less than half of Watchman damage normally comes from burns, and both are applied by melee attacks that can be avoided if you have insufficient accuracy. Unless your gear is good enough to have +10% Accuracy without sacrificing your critical multiplier, Steadfast is a better investment.

It's extremely easy to get enough accuracy from gear to have your burns (applied from regular attacks, yes) virtually never miss. 100% is "good enough" but typically I try to shoot for 105% from gear + talents.

Unless your gear is good enough to have +10% Accuracy without sacrificing your critical multiplier, Steadfast is a better investment. defensive forms = 2 centering/1.5 secs AND 4% dmg reduction on yellow dmg. (watchman) for a grand total of 2 skill points... NOT taking defensive forms is the wrong way to do it. gaining 2% more accuracy from steadfast... Well.. I would very much advice AGAINST that. (if you sacrifice your 2 points in def forms for that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagunaD Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Yes you are right, actually looking at the trees, you can't get Steadfast without having 5 points in the first tier of Combat anyway (3 Dual Wield Mastery, 2 Defensive Forms), so if the OP is asking the question it sounds like he has 2 points in Jedi Crusader, which seems debateable.

BlznSmri Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Jedi Crusader is great in PvE and PvP because it is essentially free Focus when ever you take damage, and with the amount of AoE in this Tier of raids, it would be intellectually unsound to take it.
