AUPilotAU Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hey all, As I continue to level up, I obviously strive to get gear with Strength and Endurance. I'm just now hitting level 35 and my next priority is to get my accuracy up to 110%. After doing that, I"m conflicted on what secondary stat I should be focusing on. Crit or Power. As of right now, I'm using the Annihilation skill tree and focusing on pve. I understand the basics of the two being Crit gives you a better chance at doing crititcal damage and Power gives you bonus damage. Which is the better secondary skill to focus on with the mods? I've gone back and forth over the past 10 levels and don't really see a difference either way. Thanks for the input!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerain Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 5 str = 1 bonus damage and i didn't bother figuring out how much crit but some is there 4 power = 1 bonus damage well you know what crit does. ^that's the order you should be stacking stats. Try to balance them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xKatastrophe Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 As far as I've been told/seen, Power is the stat you truly, truly want. It increases the damage of both physical and force attacks.Marauders aren't really geared towards crits - that's more of an Assassin thing. Although this might be different for Anni spec, I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarna Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) If you're big into PVP, I'd say go crit because it serves a dual purpose in increasing your survivability (as DoT crits regen 2% of your HP with that skill in the Annihilation tree) as well as your damage. For PVE, without crunching the numbers, I'd wager Power/Surge if you find you can activate Berserk a lot.

The weird thing about crits is that its devalued by how often you can use berserk as Annihilation. Surge rating is probably more valuable, though I don't know how it stacks with the +30% bleed critical damage talent. However, if you're getting them purely for the heals, then it's probably always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nmaharg Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 For Anna Surge > Everything. Since we crit so often by default stacking surge will have the large impact on dps. And you get alot out of every point. I think I have like 180 surge and it adds 28% more crit damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUPilotAU Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Thank you all for the input. I didn't even consider surge. Again, thanks for the food for thought. Looks like I have some changes to make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
