Farewellfire Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 H all. So I have started getting my Dreadguard Gear to replace my campaign stuff. Currently got Gloves and Pants, custom belt/bracer with 27 armouring and mod and 2 x hazmat implants. I checked noxxic's guide on mod's etc and it says the power augment is BiS vs their previous recommendation of aim being BiS pre dreadguard gear. Is this the case? I have over 2000 aim without any augments if that makes a difference. Any advice or explanation of how power compares to aim etc woul be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DariusCalera Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 H all. So I have started getting my Dreadguard Gear to replace my campaign stuff.

Thanks With 14 Augments, it breaks down like this: 14 x Aim Augments with group buffs and talents = 57.5 damage bonus and 0.93% crit 14 x Power Augments = 58 damage bonus. So, in a raid setting with full group buffs and the +9% Aim talent you would only lose .5% damage but gain nearly a full point of crit. Stick with the Aim augments.

JimmyTheCannon Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Don't trust Noxxic. If you need proof, look at their Powertech/Vanguard tanking rotation. It's stupidity incarnate. http://www.noxxic.com/swtor/pve/bounty-hunter/powertech/shield-tech/tanking-rotation-and-cooldowns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venomlash Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Aim is way better than Power if you have Ironsights (commando) or Steely Resolve (vanguard). The +9% to total Aim makes the reflex augs go way further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because you should still be speccing into the 9% Aim bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llama-Eight Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I thought the bonus heal gets more benefit from power than aim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocles Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 With 14 Augments, it breaks down like this: 14 x Aim Augments with group buffs and talents = 57.5 damage bonus and 0.93% crit 14 x Power Augments = 58 damage bonus.

He already answered why aim is still better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoBearsFan Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Use the aim augments for the reasons stated above but get your power from stacking power mods and enhancements remembering to balance with a little crit and surge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
