So ive been 50 for a few days have about 6 pieces of Weapon Masters and cant help but notice the Negative Rating to Accuracy Rating the gear gives... Knowing 110% is ideal Im in a bit of a conundrum. Seeing that the Elite version of WeaponMasters increases the rating back up should I invest in Accuracy Augment 22's for my gear or keep stacking Might Augment 22's...

Accuracy is almost irrelevant in PvP. Get 100% and you will be fine. Edited December 28, 2012 by JustinxDuff

So is 97% accuracy worth having if im getting an additional 90-100 strength from might augments?

Rule #1: Never buy the weapon master set.

 

Pretend it doesn't exist, we all know it's there but it's best to ignore it.

 

Treat it like a cold sore on a hot chick at the bar, after you've had a few jager bombs.

I have 33% Defense.

 

My Smash reduces your Accuracy by 5%.

 

Please do keep stripping away all that useless Accuracy from your War Hero Gear. I wholeheartedly thank you for it!

Why would I not use the War Hero Weaponmaster set for PVP? What other DPS Medium Armor PVP gear set is out there?

Because weaponmaster makes your toon look fat you nub.

Why do you think I pulled the mods out and put it in my Ardent gear.

Your pulling out the wrong mods!

Because the set bonus is crap... get the vindicator set and put into moddable gear.

Thats the set with the additional 10% damage for 6 seconds right? (or something close to that) I was considering doing that, but isnt the stat base a bit different from the Weaponmaster version? Less strength and more Endurance?

But i guess the bonus damage would be ideal... Looks like i will need ot reroll for that set..

Another question, when i get the elite version of a set does the original disappear? Or the item with the mods in it disappear?

You can trade in an empty War Hero for an Elite War Hero.

The long term goal is min/max... which means the initial stats mean nothing. And I could be wrong but I believe the vindicator set actually has a better set of starting stats. Never really paid attention.

 

But anyways, back to min/max... at some point after getting a complete set of war hero gear, you're going to want to optimize it by customizing with other pieces of WH gear. Not aways form your class. Normally there is always a bad piece in every piece of war hero gear. Research min/max and you'll see where your stats should be. Accuracy 100-110%, crit 30-35%, surge 70-75%, etc.... it's different for different classes and specs. But you'll be buying extra pieces of war hero gear just for the enhancement or mod. The rest usually gets reverse engineered or sent to a companion.

 

My point is... after war hero you should be tweaking your gear so the initial stats mean very little. Do some homework and you'll find there is plenty of ideas and information on how to min/max.

 

Full war hero is just the beginning.

Well I thank everyone for their input and time, it is greatly appreciated and cant wait to get out there and wreak some havoc in the future!

Get the Vindicator set.

 

I actually wrote something of a PVp gearing guide, mainly started it for myself to plan my gearing out, hopefully it helps and hopefully its actually right.

You don't even need 100% accuracy. That's just wasting stats. 90% is fine. Anyone who tells you different doesn't know what they're talking about.

Yes! So much this!

 

With my Smash reducing your Accuracy by an additional 5%, and my 33% Defense, that gives me like a 48% chance to dodge your Rail Shots and whatnot!

 

Please listen to him!

Marauders have rail shots now? 33 + 5 = 48? Keep trolling though. that 38% chance is just that, a chance. I'd love to see you dodge death when fighting my sentinel with 90% accuracy.

No, Rail Shot is a white Power Tech ability. See, Marauders aren't the only ones with white attacks. I'm speaking in broad terminology here, please try to follow along.

 

90-5=85

100-85=15

33+15=48

 

48+50 (CD)=98

 

Keep lowering your accuracy. I love it!

So basically something that is bangable?

For normal WZs, you'll only need +5% to hit total. Everyone except consulars have 5% base defense. Anyone who has more than that is a tank, and you shouldn't be hitting tanks in the first place, and you'll never get enough accuracy to make a diff against tanks.

 

For RWZ where there is ALWAYS a guardian tank, you'd probably want to up your hit to +10% because they have that talent that reduces your hit by 5%.

Having over 100% accuracy does not render a defensive cooldown useless.
