Paenne Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 My gear and play style --- I am valour 72, PVP focussed healing merc and love it. I now have full WH set. I have swapped out my expertise weapon crystals for power and use an inheritance slottable belt that gives more aim and power than the WH belt. I am fully augmented with power/defense augments and like the effect of this (plus I can make them). I play with a PVP guild and we run and win Rated WZ a lot. I usually get 300 - 350 k healing but this is very variable depending on how the WZ plays out. When teamed with a tank that guards me (which we almost always do in rated) we are indestructable and can usually defend a node or prevent a cap by 4 or 5 enemy players. Our rated team is well balanced and usually runs with 2 healers, 2 tanks, 4 DPS (2 with stealth ability). I have done all the applicable datacrons, so have the benefit of these. I also have leveled the other classes to 50 so can self buff with all four class buffs. I PVP with the "Exotec Reflex Stim" 128 Aim 152 Power buff. I have a 31/8/2 build. My basic stats are (this is buffed with the Exotec reflex stim--- Aim 1655, End 1562, Expertise 1231, Crit 40.05%, Crit mult 69.75%, Activation speed -14.96% (alc 369), Power 728, Bonus heal 605. HP 18306, Armour 4912, Dmg reduction 35.26%, Defence chance 12.52%. My question ---- I am looking to improve my overall healing ability - mainly want to get bigger base heals -- by swapping out some of the item modification slots in my gear. My expertise and crits are a bit high so I can afford to reduce these, I am looking to improve aim and power without giving up any of my endurance, defense or armour. Has anyone done a best in slot analysis for a merc (I have managed to find it for other classes), if so could you provide some advice, thanks. All the best.

Exiled-Phoenix Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I think your best bet is to swap some armorings with expertise for PvE black hole/campaign armorings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaoogaa Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 18,300 health seems low for warhero..are you fully auged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinsavz Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 18,300 health seems low for warhero..are you fully auged? He says he uses defense/power augs which is a rlly bad idea in my opinion, you're losing out on a good chunk of health. This is my post from another thread, with my stats. I'd advise you to get closer to this. In full augmented war hero with aim augments and aim stim, I think I have something like this; 20k hp 18k Aim 1370 expertise 850-900? bonus damage (from power) 42% crit 75% surge 10% alacrity Which is close enough to perfect IMO, maybe some slight tweaks to crit/power (don't remember my power 100% off the top of my head) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paenne Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Thanks for the advice, I have swapped out some armour pieces (they are hard to get and very expensive on my server) and changed my augments, my stats now sit at. Aim 1814 Endurance 1711 (HP = 19812) Power 713 Expertise 1181 Alcarcity 369 ( 14.96% reduction) Armour 4876 Defence chance 6.30 Bonus heal 625 Crit 40.85 Crit multiplier 69.74 Will see in the next few days of the reduction in defence chance of about 6% has much effect given that I have gained aobut 1400 HP (7%).

Sinsavz Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 That's looking much better. Another tweak I would do though is to swap some alacrity for surge. 15% is a little high and 69% is a little low, 10% and 75% is ideal in my opinion. Doesn't have to be exacty that, but with 1 or 2 simple mod/implant swaps you can easily get near those numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geftra Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) drop your crit to 35% with IA buff and get your surge to 75% spend the rest into power. go for this Aim get this as hight as you can Endurance 19k anywhere round there is fine Power 800+ Expertise 1300 Alcarcity 12% + Armour 4900 Defence chance keep it base Bonus heal 700+ Crit 35% Crit multiplier 75% Edited August 14, 2012 by geftra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDA_Slaine Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I am at the stage where I am ready to buy extra WH pieces to strip the mods out and put into my other pieces. So far I think the leg mods are best. Anyone get any thoughts on the matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easpeak Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 drop your crit to 35% with IA buff and get your surge to 75% spend the rest into power. go for this Aim get this as hight as you can Endurance 19k anywhere round there is fine Power 800+ Expertise 1300 Alcarcity 12% + Armour 4900 Defence chance keep it base Bonus heal 700+ Crit 35% Crit multiplier 75% I support this except I like my alacrity to be around 13.5% so when I get First Responder my heals are at 1.2 and 1.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody-licious Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 So I asked recently if there was a cap/soft-cap on Power, to which I got quite a few people responding with 700. Is this therefore not correct? Anyone with a link to an analysis showing no DR on the Power stat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satedbuffalo Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Power has no DR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geftra Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 im currently over 1000 power (1012) and have not noticed any DR as of yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaddie Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 My own advice would be : get rid of the alacrity and put some power/surge sophistication instead. Su many sohistications used for what ? A 0.2 secs bonus ? I truely doubt it's worth it. But maybe I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
