Bolster and augments, cheap min/max for PVP (patch 5.10)

50 to 100K MORE health? That can't be right. My 248 geared shadow has 137600 health after bolster, that would give someone 187-237K health? A tank stacking health maybe, I dunno.

 

I’m not crapping when I say I saw a Sorc yesterday that had 252-258 gear with 236-228 Augs and they had 140000+ health

Wow, aint max health usually 130-140k? Adding an additional 50k-100k more would be impressive.

 

It’s over 140000+ for a Sorcs in 258-252 with 236-228 Augments. Imagine what it will be with ALL 258 (weapons included) and 236-240 Augments.

 

When I saw the Sorcs health it made me do a double take and it’s why I inspected his gear.

hehe. twixxie is a comic. no, dps sorcs generaly dont have 140k hp

/sigh

 

I saw it with my own eyes. Maybe keep an eye out for it before dismissing it.

 

I’m not sure how many people have a whole set of 258 armor yet, so it might be rare to see them.

 

If you find a Sorc, any Sorc with a full set of 258 armor, 252 main/off hand with a heavy mix of 236 Augments and smattering of 228, please take a pic and link it so we see if I’m correct and it wasn’t some drug and alcohol hallucination.

 

I will also be keeping an eye out for one to take a pic of and will link it if I can find one.

 

Edit: also, does anyone have all the stat numbers available for each piece of 252 and 258 gear?

 

We can add up what the total health pool should be for a bolstered Sorc with 228 Augments, what it should be for a 252 Sorc with 236/240 Augments and what it should be for a 258 Sorc with 236/240 Augments. Then we can compare them against what we see in the game.

257 item level sage I was just in a match with (2 of them actually - I think they were geared identically, since they had exactly the same health). I forgot to check their specific augs level.

I’m assuming they didn’t have all 236 augments? Or they had a bigger 252/258 mix with more mixed Augments?

139387 is not far off 140000. The Sorc I saw was over 14000. So I can only assume he had more 258 items on.

 

Thanks for sharing the pic.

I'm pretty sure 139,387 is the standard health pool for a max 258 toon without any high endurance mods. I have all 240 augs and all 258 armor (aside from the 252 MH/OH ofc) and my health is also exactly 139,387.

 

If you saw a sage with over 140k health, its probably bc they're using an endurance mod.

Ok, fair enough. But I dont remember seeing one. Plus can you even get them anymore since the locked slot change?

 

I wonder if it was because he had some 228 Augments on.

 

Edit: dude, your toon looks like sideshow bob. Lmao

I thought that hair was awesome. :p

 

[edit: btw, I have also seen 255+ rated people in WZ with 140K-ish (a little over) health. Might also be stims? I didn't check that close.]

TL;DR VERSION:

1) Get to 70

2) Buy Tier 1 purple gear with Command tokens,

3) Buy augments for all slots.

4) Swap out Enhancements IF you don't need some stat (like accuracy enhancements)

5) Augment your Critical and Alacrity to whatever level you want, rest of the augments you can add to power or mastery

6) Do not forget Crystals for your weapon and shield/focus/offhand weapon

 

Thanks OP - this is extremely helpful

Full 258 gear with 240 augments is 139,387 hp. Some classes, such as assassins, have increases to their endurance in their skill trees or utilities, so they may be over 140k hp. No one else who is running low endurance stuff is going to be over 140k hp Edited by SlimeyDoom

Can you even min max to take the endurance higher. I’m sure I heard certain mods were nolonger available. That would mean any Sorcs with endurance over 140000 would neeed resistive hits (maybe?) or is there a higher endurance 240 Augment (I’ve not paid attention to those because they are so over priced for what they are).

I know in lowbies at the moment you can bump your health above 140000 with Bolster. Which seems weird as Bolster is supposed to be 253, not 258? Did we some how get a ninja buff to Bolster?
