Ahebish Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) what do u stack/ which is best? Power = damage Crit = is just that, crit chance increase Trick is balancing the 2 if possible, but otherwise if you want pure damage, go with power. You may not crit as often but you'll do more damage in every literal sense. At least that's what I figured out of it Edited December 30, 2011 by Ahebish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxerbriefs Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 If you're leveling it's power hands down, even after that I think I'll still stack power/accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTaweeli Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Think Crit is important, but is useless if your power is low, since a crit gives you roughly 50% added damage, right? So lets say you do average dmg of 100 per hit You could crit and hit a mob for 150, and if you have a crit chance of 33% then every third hit will be 150 (roughly) So assuming all damage is consistent throughout (which it isnt lol), it will be something like this: 100, 100, 150, 100, 100, 150, 100, 100, 150, 100 =1150 Whereas if you increase power, your base damage will be increased, lets say for example sake 125, and a crit of 10% 125, 125, 125, 125, 125, 125, 125, 125, 125, 187 =1312 So having higher power in THEORY means you'll have higher overall damage. My personal opinion is that striking a balance between the two is the best option, but possibly stacking power at lvl 50 and then using some talent points to increase overall crit would be the best way forward.

Capsup Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I've done the math using a program that I wrote, and the golden rule of thumb is:5 power:3 crit:2 surge:0 accuracy The only problem with my calculations are that I did not factor spell coefficients into it and that I used a rather high base damage. (1k).There's a thread called: "do we use +crit" or something like that in the operative sub forum where me and another guy had a very health discussion about the math involved. I couldn't find the thread though. Anyways, that's the general rule of thumb. Depending on what kind of abilities you use, it varies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senojones Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 If you are stacking crit then make sure your second stat is surge, as they benefit from each other. You can get enough bonus damage from cunning so I personally avoid getting power if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
