Crit Power vs Power

edited February 2018 in TERA PC - General Discussion
I cannot choose between these two: Crit Power or Power.
I am a Valkyrie and i'm looking for best rolls, avoiding the Crit factor, as I already crit way good.
I cannot choose between Crit Power or Power as I don't even know how much 0.8 is (1.50 total with Nostrum).


What do you guys think? Is better to set up 4 power + 2 power per ring or is it better 4 power + 0.4 crit power?

I have atm Stormcry +6 weapon.

Hope you can discuss this with me! Thank you :*

    I recently covered this in my guide. Before this last patch, Power always performed drastically better than Crit Power but now there's just a tiny bit of silver lining in crit power rolls. About 0.6% to be exact.
    Since you're a valkyrie and I just answered your question I'm gonna do some shameless self promotion real quick. Check this out, it'll help you with all of your other valkyrie questions:

    you cant get enough crit power from rolls in gear/jeweryes since nostrum gave you 1.5 cirt power ( at least you only can get enough from niveots, the diference between rolls in gear and jeweryes is like niveots vs dyad niveot, somes examples : focused or bitter )

    get for power, 0.4 crit power in rings is no optimal vs 4 power roll

    He's comparing between 2 power and 0.04 crit power per ring. With how Valks work, they can currently easily get over 500 power during burns, making the 4 power much worse (504 + 100)/(500 + 100) = 0.66% DPS increase on all hits (increases without Ragnarok/Gshout), while 0.08x crit power is about 0.91% DPS increase on crits (decreases on enrage/dragon procs).

    Not everyone is familiar with the Tera damage equation (although they should be by now, [ 1 / (current power + 100) ] * 100%) and in general it is good form to at least post data when making a guide, not just say "Hey this guy said it's this much increase, and he's ONE OF THE BST1!!!1." If you just bring up his claim, and then bold/italicize, you haven't really proven it. Nice guide overall though.

    I wouldn't say 0.25% is "much worse." It is unarguably less of an increase, but as no bosses are sandbag bosses other than Vernos and Vergos, .08 crit power is not 100% active, meanwhile 4 power is, you can't say "much worse," as that implies a degree of severity that is just not there. If you are min/maxer to the extreme then get .04 on both of your rings. For the average frost metal valk it's not going to be a noticeable change, especially if they have at least a 1.5x dragon.

    It's not 0.4 I think, it's 0.04 so it's really not worth it imo.

    "Much worse" was comparing having 4 power at 500 power vs 4 power at 300 power.
