Willpower is 10% better than Power (this is largely due to getting about 11% more WP from buff/talent), so given that both give 18 you want WP.

Does someone know the minimum cap crit which power > crit above?


Still nothing concerning procs trinkets? Don't answer if you have only "thoughts" without testing anything if possible please.

It's going to depend on your stat weights. Once the simulator is update you can crunch your gear through it and see which stat weighs higher and go with that.

Like frmorrison said it will most likely be your willpower.

Is everyone still using the Matrix Cube or is it now better to use the two Campaign relics? Relic of Dark Radiance and Relic of Boundless Ages.

Vader066 did an analysis of it over in the DPS Compendium and basically the Matrix Cube is still BiS with the Relic of Dark Radiance unless you are artifice. Then crafting the Relic of Boundless Ages with an augment will have it surpass the Matrix Cube. I'm not sure if the numbers will change when the new sim is out.

Thats just with the 1.1.5 SimCraft on PTR setting and with my profile entered. Not sure if that is worth anything. 50000 Iterations with a stepamount of 5.

I tried to simulate my future BiS set :

without crit implant/ear and relics. I took the rakata relics because simcraft can't calculate the new one (61), so don't really care about those two trinkets.

Heres my BIS Balance set http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/78...3198d1c42c parsed to 1734 dps with simulations craft 1.1.5 in PTR mode.

I know it's been discussed in this thread or some other one I can't remember about 4 augments being better than the 4pc PvE bonus. My question is, where/how can i get augmented hands/boots if my Valor Ranking isn't 70? (I don't pvp so it's not even close)

3 Sources for Augmented Hand/Boot: War Hero, Battlemaster, Campaign. The campaign gear would have to get purchased, and then RE'd at a 20% chance for schematic, and then crafted at a 20% chance to crit (assuming you have the 5% Ship Droid for Synth).
