Hatefury Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I apologize if this has been asked before, but I was wondering if anyone had a link or a profile to the BiS gear setup for a PVE marauder. Also any tips or tricks to maximize playing ability are always welcome. thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazchem Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Here's the link to my current gear setup. It's pretty close to BiS at this point, lacking a few armorings, and might replace an accuracy enhancement for a surge one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatefury Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thank you for the link. I have been told we should be aiming for 35% crit. Is 30% going to cut it or should I I swap out some mods for some more crit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazchem Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) With all buffs & stim, I've got almost exactly 30% critical hit chance, adding more, or less probably won't affect your overall DPS a whole lot. Also, note that I've geared for Carnage Specc, which means that I've replaced almost all accuracy enhancements in my gear for Surge (Since i get 6% from talents) so if you're playing Annihilation, BiS gear will look a little different.

coldtrix Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Here is a link for near BiS Annilation Build for PVE its all BiS mods/enhancements only the main armoirings are missing http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/37825a61-d32a-4b90-8668-21b6e86385a5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatefury Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) I run carnage also and have a pretty similar setup and stats. So I guess with carnage since most of our hits are big crits already we can sacrifice some crit % for more str/power/surge. However if you run an annihilation build you would want to jack that crit up and sacrifice some of the power/strength. Thanks for the info guys.

Eszi Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Here's the link to my current gear setup. It's pretty close to BiS at this point, lacking a few armorings, and might replace an accuracy enhancement for a surge one. 400 surge is a fail, it diminishes a lot after 75% Also, as carnage u need crit at 350-400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truescopes Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 400 surge is a fail, it diminishes a lot after 75% Also, as carnage u need crit at 350-400 Yes it diminishes, but you can only swap surge for accuracy and his accuracy is at 102% which is fine. No you do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eszi Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yes it diminishes, but you can only swap surge for accuracy and his accuracy is at 102% which is fine. No you do not. 102% accu for carnage is low. Yes you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truescopes Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 102% accu for carnage is low. Yes you do. The person posting the highest parses at he moment has under 102% accuracy and below 350 crit. Crit hits DR at 300, you are losing dps by increasing it past that. Please learn your class.

Mr_Fuzzle Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 People of the Marauder Forums, please just ignore Eszi, he is trolling the Sentinel forums as well about the same nonsense. He does not listen to reason or pay attention ot any point made by other people. So this is a case of don't feed the troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatefury Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 ok so from what I have seen it is optimal to have around 75% surge 32-35% crit with 102% accuracy and whenever possible str/power added in? Please correct me if I am wrong or off my numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurojiin Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 ok so from what I have seen it is optimal to have around 75% surge 32-35% crit with 102% accuracy and whenever possible str/power added in? Please correct me if I am wrong or off my numbers There's no optimal amount of surge per se; it's just that once you hit 100% accuracy you might as well stack surge. Actually crit percentage is irrelevant; aim for about 150 crit rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaqen Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I use to run annihilation only and found that having ~120-140 crit rating (came out to about 27-28% melee crit) worked the best. I have recently switched to carnage and been spending a great amount of time on the dummy perfecting my rotation, and trying to find that sweet point with crit... i beleive it lies at ~300-350 crit rating (will come to about 35% melee crit buffed), it may be a little bit more then that... it will be a few days before i get the chance of getting some more crit enhancements to play around with. Since i am still perfecting the rotation i check the average damage of the hits of massacre, ataru form and ravage for a base line if the crit i just added out weighs the power that i lost... as long as i see a reasonable increase (if it is a small increase i say it isnt worth it due to the lost of damage on scream). Once i get the rotation perfected to a T i will try to post a log, i am aiming for 2100 and i think i should be able to reach that in a 5 min fight.

OMGitsCHARLIE Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/7024549c-3566-4f9c-82e8-c5a79dbae1d7 My sentinel, I've finally acquired enough bh coms to get my 2nd implant. I often switch between watchman (annihilation) and combat (carnage). The posted gear setup is for combat. When I respec to watchman I switch out the enhancements in my sabers from adept 27's (power/surge) to initiative 27's (power/accuracy) also depending on the fight, I will switch out one of my war hero relics for a dread guard (on use) power relic.

Omophorus Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 400 surge is a fail, it diminishes a lot after 75% Also, as carnage u need crit at 350-400 Any mathcraft or extensive testing to back that second statement up, or are you just talking out a certain unsavory orifice like most people who throw around numbers without explanation tend to do?
