    Default What Are Your Preferred Enhancements & Why?

    Hello,

    Out of curiosity, I just want to hear everybody's preferred enhancements and why. Also, please specify if it's a PvE preferred enhancement or PvP preferred enhancement.

    Please note, this does not have to be an enhancement you do not have.

    My preferred enhancement (I do NOT have this...wish I did):
    - 3.0% Int, 3.0% Str, 3.0% Dex
    - 3.0% Int, 3.0% Str, 3.0% Dex
    - 150 Armor
    - 150 Armor

    I chose this set up because damage has increased thanks to enhancements, but armor has not. Therefore, in order to perform well, one must do a balanced build instead of a full out damage build (which is why I sold my previous gun with insane damage enhancements). Slotting MM alone on your pet will not alleviate the damage increase.

    Thank you and make sure to respect other's opinions on their enhancements!

    Zeus does having that extra 300 armour makes a difference? After all this time I still don't get the mechanics of that one.

    I don't have that enhancement, it's the enhancement that I want though.

    What I currently have is:
    - 2% Int, 2% Str, 2% Dex
    - 3% Int
    - 3% Armor
    - 8% Movement Speed

    In my previous gun, I noticed even though I did insane amount of damage...I died too quick for it to really matter. The fact that damage shot up without survivability being granted through gear made all that damage useless. Even though my gun is just a 3% armor boost, which translates to about 60 armor...it's great. I really notice that 60 armor more, especially when my arcane shield (armor effectiveness is increased when paired with damage reduction).

    Why armor? Why not health 300?

    People saying health better than armor I guess. Confused

    Ho.... Thanks for clearing that up. I've always wanted to try slotting Diamond in my gears but I don't want to lose dex. With this new system I might as well try armour enhancements. The armour enhancements is gonna be for my bow though. I like my dagger's settings for now. I don't care about pvp. I'm pve-only lady lol.

    While not under damage reduction bonuses, sure. However, if you are, then armor ends up being better. I've done a few tests. I borrowed Spell's gun, which is similar to mine. In fact, hers has +9 damage more than mine and 200+ HP more. However, it has no armor. Against the same rogue, I lost multiple times using her gun. Using my gun, I won nearly every time.

    The thing is, health does NOTHING to slow the fact that your shield is going to break. However, armor will slow shield from breaking too early. Str does the same, but the enhancements on str are not that great compared to the armor bonuses for a sorc. So, therefore, its better to want some armor in your gun and then the rest as damage.

    Sup Zeus...
    Personally, I think % are the way to go to segregate classes into there proper roles.

    4% health for a 10k health tank is +400 health, whereas a 6k health rogue it is only 240. (Same for other types of enchantments)

    But my personal choices would be 3% str, 3% Dex, 3%int (x4)
    3% @800 primary stat=24 which is a good trade off for a loss of a few minor stats

    24 str = damage and health along with maybe 6 Dex and 6 int for extra boost in health and damage

    I'm talking from a warriors point of view and I've always preferred health>armour but IMO primary>health>armour as primary increases skill damage, health (survivability) and my heals.

    The best buffs are % buffs since they scale with gear. I have on my aegis the following buff: 2% str int dex, 3% str, 8 dex int str. This leads to 54 str extra with my current gear. For a pve tank, any combination of str %, hp % and armor % is great.

    I m currently having

    +5 dex, 1% ignore ability, 150 armor, 100 hp on my drag hunter blades.

    Should i reawaken them, or is the above enhancement gud. I run elites mostly using drag hunter.
