I just won my first 'Force-Healer's MK-1 Motivator' from a Rakata Heroic. Yay new gear, or so I though, until I looked at the stats.

Oriconian 180 vs. Massasi 192

247 vs 194 Endurance (53 pt. loss)

189 vs 124 Willpower (65 pt. loss)

110 vs 0 power (110 pt. loss)

94 vs 0 surge (94 pt. loss)

32 vs 111 alacrity (79 pt. GAIN)

0 vs 48 crit (48 pt. GAIN)

672 vs 477 TOTAL STATS A NET LOSS OF 195 POINTS FOR AN ITEM 12 points higher

 

WHAT'S THE DEAL?

Its obviously bugged, but yeah, vendor gear stuff should always suck. Go for a crafter, or better yet, a token drop

Checked the piece in question, its definately bugged.

 

The stats its supposed to give are:

 

276 Endurance

241 Willpower

96 Crit Rating

111 Alacrity

 

Either way, just go craft a rating 186 implant with Power/Accuracy. Or go kill Nightmare Nefra for some dread master ones.

OK I just double checked all the 192 implants sold on the (republic) Fleet.

Here's what I found:

 

Implants on all 4 Vendors

DPS

[Primary] 241

Endurance 276

power 96

Surge 111

 

Tank

[Primary] 298

Endurance 206

shield 111

def 114

 

Other Healers

[Primary] 241

Endurance 276

crit 96

Alacrity 111

 

Sage Healer

[Primary] 124

Endurance 194

crit 48

Alacrity 111

 

All DPS get +724 stats.

All Tanks get +729 stats.

Healers (smugglers & troopers) get +724 stats

Sage healers get +477 stats

 

Edit doh you beat me. A 185 crafted implant is still going to be about 60 pts lower than a proper 192 and I'm afraid farming old ops won't be easy either. My guild is not a raiding guild and the ops group finder sucks That leaves me with spamming chat and trying to PuG it. No Thanks.

 

also Accuracy is not going to do me any good as a healer.

 

Thanks for the input. I guess I'll post a bug and hope it gets fixed.

Oh as a healer you can just use the Power/Surge DPS Implant. Its probably going to be better anyway.

 

BTW Crafted 186 may have less stats, but its a case of 221 will/111 crit/power/102 Surge/Alac vs 241/96/111, as those are the only numbers that matter (HP Is especially bad as a sage healer because noble sacrifice is HP Based damage to yourself)

 

In other words, its a loss of 14 stats from crafted to elite comms, but with crafted you get more choice.

And if you go for Dread Masters? You get ~204 will / 141 crit/power / 102 Surge/alac (can't remember the exact numbers), which is a deficit of 1 from the elite comms vendor.

 

Also nightmare nefra is a joke. Just dont stand in the circle, and make the tanks spin her at 15 stacks.

 

Or you can go the easy way and kill sparky and hope for the best. Resurrected implant > Ultimate Comms implant
