Boxerz Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Anyone done this and seen results with force charge, force crush, smash etc? Was thinking of picking up some willpower equipment to try it out but I wanted to see if anyone had done so before me. Also does anyone know what the modifier for smash would be? I'm thinking it's probably strength but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rezean Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Umm unless I am severely mistaken, when you are leveling early wou are specifically noted that STR affects your force attacks not wp. WP is for inquis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbonated Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I am sure willpower would probably work out to be better if you could actually just only use force attacks, however you will find you will be using melee ones as well even if its just to build rage.

I could be wrong. Haven't tested myself. Good luck if you do and I'll update if I get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joxerthemighty Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) the thing is...strength effects your physical AND force attacks as a warrior and has better returns on it. there is no reason to ever get any stat other than Primary, Endurance and Presence for any class Edited December 29, 2011 by Joxerthemighty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehspiff Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have the opposite situation. I play a Sith Assassin (Deception - lvl 47 currently), and I regularly use str stims or str focus/shield as it dramatically increases my crit. Getting 2-4% crit is worth losing 2-4 damage on my primary (as listed in the character screen). I can't say how effective it would be for a warrior, as I don't know how many force attacks you generally perform in your rotation, but the effect of diminishing returns on willpower for me far outweighs losing 100 or so willpower for 100 or so str. Not to mention the str shields/foci generally have more +force power on them then will power ones. I would suggest trying it out at the very least, you might be surprised. 100 will power might add a considerable amount of damage to your force attacks, and only cost you a minimal amount of str/dmg in return.

Sayc Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Strength gives melee damage/crit and force damage/crit. Willpower gives force damage/crit. Strength and willpower are mutually exclusive on individual gear pieces. Getting gear with willpower means sacrificing melee damage/crit for an equivalent force damage/crit that you would have gotten anyway from strength(read:sacrificing melee for nothing). Why would you take willpower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
