Expertise: Max or 1200 - Debate has ended

lolol rakata medpac? You dont get a say in what's best for pvp.

iirc, rakata medpack gives +15% max health for a short period of time. not a totally bad option for a tank class

haha

Yes. Add this to the 30% HP boost of endure pain.

If we compare this to the WZ medpac heal of 35% of max health then the break even point is about 16k base health (i.e. enure + rakata medpac = enure + WZ medpac). After that WZ medpac is a bit better. E.g. with 24k health, the WZ medpac is about 2k more healing. Of course the rakata is a lot less expensive to use

I would definitely use the rakata on non-tanks and even on tanks in regular WZ.

I use both on my jugg when tanking, but the rakata get's used more often (WZ med pack if I'm caught in a 1v1 and it's needed). When I'm pulling FF (huttball) the extra 15% for 15 seconds is huge. It's a great get out of jail free card when paired with endure pain (also a great way to get people waste their burst). It's demoralizing to people when they try to take down a jugg tank with 24k health, think they are doing great, then the jugg health jumps up 12,000 for 10/15 seconds. Score.

Edit: In case I didn't make it clear. I use the rakata med pack when I am sure that 15% bonus will be healed a number of times over the 15 seconds. Hence it's use over wz med pack in most tank related situations. Be it running the huttball or realizing the healer you are guarding can't heal you at the moment but will soon. Just having a hot on you during those 15 seconds means you can eat more damage when guarding someone, without requiring a courtesy heal every 3 globals from your healer.

Yea but when you throw in guard and taunts into the mix, that person being FF may NOT die. And when that happens, that extra mitigation matters.

This.


Staying alive to do damage > dong more damage but dying quicker. Don't rely on rng.

Weird logic since both teams are throwing taunts and guards. DPS should be maximizing DPS.

1.9% mitigation or 1.3% damage

a little bit of damage, or a little bit of defense. i'll take the damage, since thats the role my class plays
