Faithcents Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Specifically 24 mastery vs 42 power...anyone have any idea which one would give the most damage increase? Mainly asking because of some mod options where one has 24 more mastery and the other has 42 more power. If the mastery is more damage then I'd need to replace 9 mods...so 216 mastery vs 378 power.

flem Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 They've always been close enough that what you should be maximizing is Mastery+Power, not either independently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbonesmccoy Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Power will always grant you higher bonus dmg, mastery gives a increase to bonus dmg as well as crit chance. Mastery Force Dmg Bonus per Point - 0.2 Power Force Dmg Bonus per Point - 0.23 There isn't much of a difference but it's there. However, if you're not at your limit for crit chance, then mastery will benefit you more. In you're case however, you're adding much more power over mastery, so it would therefore increase your dmg more to go for the power. Hope this helps Edited October 26, 2015 by drbonesmccoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renata_Roselli Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Mastery doesn't give a crit bonus anymore I thought? *UPDATE* I tested it out and my crit chance does not increase with Mastery so it looks like Mastery does not have that bonus anymore.

Mastery still increases crit chance. Check again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LydMekk Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Way too high. Look in the subforum Roles - big thread. Around 36-37% is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sxysorc Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Way too high. Look in the subforum Roles - big thread. Around 36-37% is enough. Which one is the one you mean ? Multiplyer ? or the one that just says critical ( am looking under force tab on my sorc) my crit ( not multi) says 22 but multiplier says over 54 so which do i go by to judge my rate of crit and how do i crecese the 22 to 40 when its already max level ( though hasnt got pvp gear or much over-208 clothes gear and 178 implant and ear etc left side of character tab Edited February 24, 2016 by sxysorc correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your crit multiplier should be in the high 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcAngelSeth Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 You want your crit at around 37% or so. Your crit multiplier should be in the high 60's. Their is no crit ceiling. Its all baised on preferance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erevan_Kindelar Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Their is no crit ceiling. Its all baised on preferance. There is no hard cap on the crit percentage, but the relationship between the crit "number" you have and the crit percentage/crit damage multiplier is not linear. So when you get up around 40% crit, each additional point of crit gives much less additional crit percentage/multiplier than it did at lower levels. That diminishing return means that when you get to the mid-30's, most builds find more benefit in stacking power, alacrity or Mastery (assuming that accuracy, if relevant, is already adequate).

ArcAngelSeth Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Never stack mastery. Your gear will give you plenty of it. You should be more focused on power vs crit. Power is consistent damage, crit is a chance on higher damage. I recommend pushing your crit chance upwards of 45% and then switching to power.

DiegoOnasi Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Hi all, I'm reviving this thread because it's 2020 and not 2016. I've rebuilt my Fury Marauder recently and at one stage in the development process I was doing around 5.5 k dps in unranked warzones. Take into consideration that I main a tank and have never been very good at DPS. I got to 43% crit chance and I've been pushing power. My rotation is as good as I can possibly get it at my skill level and generally speaking I have no problems in 1 v 1 or even 2 v 1 encounters. But in the last couple of days I've lost 1k dps on average every game. My mastery is over 13k and my power is well over 8k. I dont have any points in accuracy but I dont miss much, I think my baseline 101% accuracy is good enough. I'm at the first bracket on alacrity with only a few points over 1200 so not too much wasted there. Any helpful advice would be appreciated, if any of you main Fury Marauders even more so.

GoldnShadow Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I want to say power is more for raw actual power your abilities do like for a sage/sorc in particular as well as increases healing, but mastery is for the additional crit you get for dps and you arent meant to go for only power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
