Why improve equipment at all? Bolstering mechanic questions...


Recommended Posts

Hey there,

 

im @ 65 with several characters and i started doing tactical flashpoints and i was even doing an OP-run yesterday via the group finder. I do not have enough time to join a guild for normal or even hardmode OP-runs. So right now im asking myself what is the point in gearing up my chars.? Im getting bolstered anyway, right? What about HM-FPs? Is there a bolstering mechanic too?

 

Gearing up for solo content is out of the question...there is nothing i could not solo with those new overpowered companions except those h2 star fortress flashpoints...im not doing them, they are to grindy and just there to keep some people in the game.

 

Anyone care to explain?

 

Thanks in advance.

Not sure there's much to explain...

 

You choose to do easy/story mode content which exist for people that don't have time, aren't too good, don't want to gear up ... and instead focus on the story and what is actually happening in the content.

 

To do so, game apply a bolster to people thus people can do content without getting gear.

 

So yes it doesn't have a point to get gear for you but why should it ? The content you want to do is not meant for people that want to get gear..

If you can run the content that you enjoy, then you're as geared as you need to be.

For hard modes.

 

Anyway, "recommended gear" for HM FPs is 200.

 

And i soloed SF H2 in full 190 Ziost gear (186 implants/earpiece) with r10 companon, so only thing that it will do is that it will go faster ;P

 

And if you really dont need the gear, theres quite a few other stuff you can buy with crystals/WZ comms.

 

All in all it is very good setup.

So that is something i can work on. Thought that i get bolstered too there.

 

Dont know, didnt try. Just read it of the terminal ;P BUT....if i were you, i wouldnt join HM in 200 gear (unless guild run which are aware of it beforehad). You know, just in case ;P Running HMs via GF can get....messy.
