Current Endgame Stats for a DPS Mini?

[LethalLethality]

So, I've got all my best gear and it's time to put in essences.


My current stats are:

Morale - 53,854
Power - 9,504
Armour - 49,851
Might - 182
Agility - 299
Vitality - 12,013
Will - 10,730
Fate - 2,628
Critcal Rating - 28,905
Finesse - 49,610
Physical Mastery - 85,841
Tactical Mastery - 124,964
Resistance - 46,864
Critical Defense - 16,980
Incoming Healing - 0
Outgoing Healing - 144,731
Block - 6,030 - N/A
Parry - 962 - N/A
Evade - 37,931 - N/A
Melee - 0
Ranged - 0
Tactical - 0
Physical - 49,851
Tactical - 48,126


So far, I've slotted four Finesse Essences. All my remaining essence slots are still empty. I'd like to get a general idea of what I should focus on. Increase my Health? Will? Higher Finesse? I'd love to get some opinions on what would be best to work on right now.

I have 6 finesse , 2 physical mitigation , 1 critical rating, 5 tactical mastery and 2 vitality essences slotted, along with a pel morale essence in lute class item. Once I get enough tokens for another pair of allegiance gloves and complete quests for another set of pants I will make swaps and replace the 2 vitality essences with 1 critical and 1 tactical mastery. The physical mitigations are slotted in rings for t2 over cap but aren't necessary for t1/daily content. At least for landscape stuff mini seems to do fine with 50-60k finesse.

Here are my current healing stats.


Morale - 78,634
Vitality - 18,176
Will - 11,251
Fate - 2,387
Critical Rating - 51,894 (+4,900 from ILI)
Healing % in Resonance - 64.1%
Resistance - 86,779 (35.7%)
Critical Defense - 43,129 (50.7%)
Physical Mitigation - 60,521
Tactical Mitigation - 59,652


I used the following essences in my 14 slots.


1 - Tactical Mitigation
1 - Physical Mitigation
4 - Critical Defense
8 - Vitality


I feel like this setup will serve me well in level 115 T2C content, but I haven't had time to test it yet. When I get my gold rings I'll probably add 2 additional Vitality essences.

For dps , aim to cap your crit. No crit , no decent damage. 68k is a good number since it caps your devastates.
As for finesse , in all honesty , you don't need more than 40k. Thank red passive trait ( -10% resist ) for that. Personally , i roll with 37k+.
If you can't live with yourself if a ballad resists , feel free to apply echoes of battle on the occasional big and nasty guy and problem solved.
Mits should be close to cap for landscape on their own. If they are not , then tweak your virtues.

Remember , you only need 100 light. Apart from Mordor gear , current best in slot items include scaled instance gear , some Pelargir loot and 1-2 gold mathom pieces.

Lastly , never forget : Kiting is your friend.

I'm confused a bit about crit. I've currently got 49k crit rating, and my character sheet shows 25.4% chance to crit. The mordor stat caps indicate that we cap @ 25% crit chance. Is my sheet crit % reflecting crit traits I have slotted? I do know that crits = damage, but man, putting in 8 more crit essences doesn't feel quite right.

I'm currently rolling with gold mathom gloves, and 2 scaled EB arms, as their stats are pretty substantial upgrades. Looks like there are 3-slot jewelry pieces- http://www.ozraid.com/articles/equip...ide-level-105/ - the arms might be the way to go, could slot in 6 crit essences in just 2 arm pieces.

Thoughts?

The Critical Strikes trait in the redline is added to your crit chance in the sheet, the bonus crit chance for specific skills like Concussive Shout or Piercing Ballads is not shown/added to the character overview value.

The character sheet does factor in the +% increase. Critical Rating on the character sheet only shows the DPS aspects of your critical rating. This means it will show the % gain from red traits, but will not show the % increase from blue traits. It also will not show the extra +Critical Rating you are likely gaining from your LI weapon. Critical Rating caps, for % increase, at 71000.

The new instances on Beta, as of the latest build, require a lot of light. If you have any interest in running those you'll want most, if not all, of your gear to have +Light on it.

[Wayle]

Not a huge surprise to hear about the light requirement in instances. I also expect to run those instances as a healer, not as DPS.... DPS is for running my dailies/etc, and sometimes on the FIs.

While it's seeming clear I should be stuffing my healing gear full of crit and vit essences, do you have a decent feel for how many crit essences should go in the DPS gear-set? feeding another 8 crit essences into it seems like... overkill.

I'd just like to say, I ran a CoS T2C With me (mini) a Warden and a Burg last night.

Fastest run I've done period.

IT was about 18/19 minutes from the start.

Went yellow/red for all but the last boss which I went in straight red. Popped 6 anthems before fight started. I tanked / kited the mini boss which the Warden ended up tanking then kiting everything when the main boss has killed the NPC's (though we were super close on doing the whole thing before they died)

I will say, I've gotten two of the dps runes.. and my dps is through the roof.
