Cunning or Endurance: Operative


Recommended Posts

So I made an operative a while ago, and it's currently about level 20, but since I'm modding my gear, I don't know if I want skill (more cunning) or patron (more endurance)? I'm playing concealment, so would endurance be better to raise my health?

 

I would general max out your damage instead of your health...so I'd go with cunning.

I honestly don't even know why they have the Patron stuff in the game.. or why the tanky/end heavy armorings seem to always be ~2 levels ahead of the DPS ones on the vendors.

 

Just go with skill stuff, use patron if you have to, but you generally want to try and have more Cunning than Endurance.

I think the patron stuff comes easier with the idea of "they are soloing... Hp will make soloing easier". Yes if you do things purely from a mechanics perspective (right spec/companion combo) you don't need the survivability as much. However you always have those players that want to run with their favorite spec and companion, even if they mismatch. You have to consider these players too. If you notice when you get the complete gear at endgame it all flip flops.

Patron stuff was left over from when BW was considering having cunning based tanks.

 

Whilst leveling only ever use it if the Cunning on the Patron piece is greater than the combined Cunning + Power value of what you currently have on; 100 Cunning vs 40 Cunning & 30 Power.

 

Otherwise vendor it.
