Supercommando - Powertech Shield Tech (tank)
You really think so? I would think that Eliminator is better than Combat Tech due to the 15% extra crit for railshot (since it procs alot with a 4/6/31 Pyro spec). Sure the 2p-bonus from Eliminator is rubbish since we dont have a charge going Pyro. Thoughts? This is for PvP.
This is a PvE discussion thread, so I'm sure he was talking about the raid sets, which have different bonuses than the PvP gear. Fot what it's worth I'd still prefer the combined bonuses of the PvP Combat Tech set.
Oh my bad, sorry about that.

Apologies for the confusion. Yes these are for the Rakata, Columni, and Tionese raid sets for PvE. The set pieces were based on the set bonuses and what they provide the various specs.

So lets talk abit about gear.
I just got the [Relentless Winds] From hm KP yesterday. (Yes I also got the mount. I dont care much for mmo fashion but this mount is badass)
http://www.torhead.com/item/6meEN4C/relentless-winds
Heres the tooltip for it: +77 Endurance. Damaging attacks have a 30% chance to deal 224 additional kinetic damage to the target. This effect can only occur once every 4.5 seconds, and shares this limit with similar damage-dealing effects.
So my question is is it better than:
[Matrix Cube M7-B3] This is the pure stats one from datacrons. 58 aim, 50 endurance and 24+ critical rating. http://www.torhead.com/item/75Z6YmL/matrix-cube-m7-b3
Or:
[Columi Relic of Forbidden Secrets] http://www.torhead.com/item/5JaZgzh/columi-relic-of-forbidden-secrets
+72 Endurance. Use: Increases Critical Rating and Surge Rating by 220 for 20 seconds.
In ppv the choice is pretty simple. The extra endurance and burst makes the Matrix cube the least viable imho. But in pve, Im totally at a loss which one to use, Please advice.

I also got one of these trinkets the other day, Corrosive Injection Kit which is similar,
"Equip: Damaging attacks have a 30% chance to deal 156 additional internal damage to the target. This effect can only occur once every 4.5 seconds, and shares this limit with similar damage-dealing effects"
What I have found to be the great thing about it is the proc will work off DoT's and has a chance to proc on all hits of a flurry attack, like Rapid Shots. So you can keep it on ICD almost all the time if you are pyro or ap with just your normal rotation. It also crits, which is just sick. As for which trinket to replace, personally I find the 58aim and 24crit on the matrix cube just to much passive stats to give up atm so I replaced my power on use trinket.

Whats ICD?
RE: Powertech/Vanguard DPS Compendium - blott - 01-27-2012 10:53 PM
internal cooldown, the "This effect can only occur once every 4.5 seconds" part

In PvP you want the proc damage and click trinket and PvE you want proc damage and matrix shard.

So I'm a bit confused for itemization. It looks like Aim > Accuracy > Power. That about right? How much accuracy are we going for? 110% base or 110% special? Right now I'm @ 110.30% base/110.30%special accuracy.
