Skapek-Skocap Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I've been playing Merc for a while now, and I've got 3 pieces of EWH including Mainhand but I was posing a question to those out there to see what you're rolling with: 1: Power VS Aim - I've been really conflicted on what to do, a few weeks ago I had around 1950~ aim and very little power, but now I've lost some aim to around 1750-1850 aim and around 750 power and I've been hitting a lot harder and doing overall better numbers in damage. What are you guys opinions? Should I continue stacking power or start going back to Aim now with power so high? 2: What EWH set are you guys running? For WH I was running a full Eliminator setup, but now with the question of Power vs Crit or Vs Accuracy, I'm not sure what I should run or start mixing with CT a little bit as well.

DarthBloodloss Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I go with all Aim over Power. We have the skill box that adds 9% aim which basically makes all aim boosted to 109% of normal, bringing it almost exactly equal with power. Normally the trade off is that Power gives a tiny tiny tiny bit more damage, and Aim gives Crit Rating. But with the boost to Aim bringing it just about in line with Power (damage-wise), there is no reason to go with Power (as a Merc DPS). I stick to the 4 piece eliminator. Not much to back this up other than its what I feel works the best. Edited January 9, 2013 by DarthBloodloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macroeconomics Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Power vs. Aim: It depends on the trade-off ratio. Given a choice between 1 pt of Power and 1 pt of Aim, go with the Aim. However there will be opportunities where you can trade 1 pt of Aim for 2 pts of Power. That is a trade worth doing. EWH set: Eliminator all the way. Pull mod/enhancements from other sets if you want. But there is zero reason for a Merc dps not to have the 4 piece Eliminator set bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantasm Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Actually if you play pyro you sure need the 4-piece eliminator set for the 15% RS crit bonus. But I play arsenal and I prefer 2-piece PVE set bonus for 15% crit on TM. To get it I bought 2 campaign armorings for gloves and boots, they are the most affordable and have same stats as more expensive ones for chest and head, 72 BH comms for both. Then I just replaced armoring in my WH gear with them. What I'm loosing is 100 expertise and almost useless for arsenal 15% crit on RS, and the gain is around 65 aim, 30 endurance and nice set bonus. So I still got 20 sec cd on jet boost from pvp set bonus and over 50% crit chance on a hard hitting TM.
