Talents vs. Characteristic Focus

[Archived Post]

Is it better with your talents to pick something that is going to stack with you super stat? Or is it better to try and round out your other stats?

For example if you took super endurance, would it be useful to increase your recovery through talents so you could have a higher equilibrium? Or would it be more effective to just boost your endurance even higher?

boost recovery mainly to have higher equilibrium . more endurance is useful when you can get to the max energy and dish out damage . i do it both ways i have higher end and higher recovery .

i use my talents to work on other stats , like constitution , dex and ego .

It's worth bearing in mind that certain stats hit a given value or value range and lose some efficiency.

For example, if you want Recovery for the equilibrium, it caps at 100%, at around 130 (give or take 10) by level 40. After that, it's only helping you regain energy.

Intelligence, on the other hand, is not doing much at all around the same value, due to scaling. It's giving about a 20% recharge/cost reduction, which is pretty lame.

In other words, think about what to superstat compared to what to bump with items and talents in advance......not that we have enough data to work with yet.....

mix and match

So does talents add to your superstats? Say i have STR as a super stats, as since STR adds to the damage i do, does getting STR talent add to this as well?
Oh and the stat bonuses you get from items i assume?

talents dont scale

they only add to over all total

[Archived Post]

so talents dont increase super stats damage just the innate effect some stats have?

umm

if your have a super stat for endurance , and get a talent which has +endurance in it . it will effect the over all total which will increase the powers effect .

so if you get constitution super stat

and at lvl 2x its at lets say 40 , and u buy a talent for + 8 constitution . the total effect from both of them will be 48 . super stats will increase with every level but talent will remain the same

so a super stat at lvl 40 may be at + 40 but the talent will stay at +8


P.s. figures are not accurate just a example.

I believe he's asking about the +damage effect of Super States, not the scaling, i.e. in your example, does the full 48 add to damage or only the 40.

Right :) As i picked STR as one of my superstats and STR is supposed to increase the damage i do, then anything that adds to STR should increase my damage output, such as items and talents?

yes it will add
