Slaughter vs Dreadnought Set

ThePieBoyThePieBoy
in TERA PC - General Discussion
For pure PVE which is the better set at +12. I know that Slaughter has higher based stats while Dread has more bonus lines. But overall which is the better set for PVE. I left the game after I finished my Schism set fully enchanted. So about 4 - 5 months ago and just recently came back for Ninja.

    Slaughter is better than Dreadnaught at +12
  • ThePieBoyThePieBoy ✭✭
    How much better? Is it just a tad better or is there actually a difference you can tell?
  • UltemeciaUltemecia ✭✭✭
    Dreadnaught is the lower tier gear this patch cycle. With it you'd have a tough time doing and getting a party for HM dungeons. Dreadnaught is the mid tier gear and will allow you to be competitive and survive everything the game has. It is a pretty large difference.
  • ThePieBoyThePieBoy ✭✭
    So Slaughter is the "high-tier" and does more damage and give you better tank stats than Dread at the moment?

    Dreadnaught (low tier) < Starfall =< slaughter (mid tier) < imperator (hight tier)(in PVE)

    Some of the line that are gone in slaughter have been added or compressed in a single line. for example crit gloves had a line +3 crit and another +6 crit, which they merged to a single +9 crit.

    I havent gotten the chance to thoroughly test the dmg increase, but in previous patches, it has been about 5% increase most of the time. certainly weapon is best to upgrade (unless you're a healer, in which case it doesnt really matter as long as you can survive)

    I did some maths comparing dread, lucid +15, slaughter, starfall +12/15 and conflate for both tank and dps. Dread is just absolutely worse than slaughter (about 20% for tank and about 15% for dps), lucid +15 for dps is useable if you have etching III but the ilvl is just way too low, starfall +12 is about as good as slaughter for tank and roughly 5% better for dps. Starfall +15 is ~19% better than slaughter for dps, 12%ish for tank.

    Not 100% sure about the number since I'm at work and don't have access to my chart at home.

    From a rough dps viewpoint, I quickly made a +12 DN full set after reaching 65 with my ninja. when I replaced the weapon and belt with a Slaughter +12 weapon and Slaughter belt I got over 12k attack power. No other changes. Just weapon and belt. That 12 k should make some difference somewhere.

    Thanks for the reply. I'll go max out my Slaughter set then.

    Just for future reference all the patches work in the same way give or take for gear. Each patch cycle will have a low tier(dread) a mid tier(slaughter) and a BiS(Imperator).

    The BiS from the previous patch cycle(in this case Starfall) is almost always as good if not a bit better than the current mid tier. Just a heads up for future reference.

    On ninja attacking from behind it was a 8.24% difference with dread @1% mw bonus vs slaughter @3% mw bonus. Slaughter is better.
