Second, Adrenals. I'm having a rough time deciding which adrenal to make for myself with Biochem. Sure, we don't have hard numbers so we can't say for SURE, but I wanted to get everyone's opinion. Currently, I'm trying to decide between three adrenals:
  • Power - This is your basic bread and butter. From what we learned in WoW, this kind of stat (flat damage increase) is the best option if it isn't worse by a large margin because it offers a guaranteed boost independent of RNG.
  • Crit - For our class, this stat has special implications, specifically more spamming. However, the more crit I get on my base gear, the less useful I feel a cooldown that provides crit will be. If I already crit a LARGE chunk of the time, how much can this help me? And additionally, I can still simply not crit at all during the duration if my luck is bad, completely losing out on any benefit.
  • Surge - Because we crit so much, this has to be a consideration. My GUESS is that factoring in the 2-pc PvE gear bonus this is actually quite competitive, but again relying on RNG means we could get NOTHING out of the cooldown.

Thoughts? Currently, I'm leaning towards power just because I KNOW it will provide some benefit when I use it. I'm also inclined to apply the same idea to my relic slot.

Unless your have like zero surge on your gear I would not use the surge one. Surge "caps" fairly easily so much of the benefit is lost.
