Stats/Ratings/Caps/Essences, OH MY!!!! HELP!!!

(copied over from "Other Guides" forum . . .)

Hey y'all, I've done a great job of avoiding essence armor. I always figured I'd get around to it eventually. Anyway, I've been doing some research, and trying to come up with the MOST SIMPLISTIC way to figure all this out, and think I've interpreted all this info into a pretty easy guide, with NO MATH! LOL

Here are groovy graphs where I got a lot of this info. Look at the bottom of the page! That's where the good graphs are. The top of the page is lots of math.

Here are the different ratings, what caps there are for each (if any), and whether there are diminishing returns after a certain point. Finally, recommendations as to what values to shoot for.

As a general rule, everyone is going to need to max their mitigations, and, for levels 106-120, get some Finesse!

Please respond to this thread if you disagree, and I can modify this post! Thanks!

Critical Rating - 25% Cap

Percentage	Lvl 105	Lvl 115	Lvl 120
15%	19,286	38,571	96,429
20%	30,000	60,000	150,000
25%	45,000	90,000	225,000

Pretty linear! Try to get between 15% and 20%

Finesse Rating - 50% Cap

Percentage	Lvl 105	Lvl 115	Lvl 120
15%	7,941	15,882	39,706
20%	11,250	22,500	56,250
35%	24,231	48,462	121,154

Pretty linear!

Finesse is great 105 and under if you're doing T2 instances or killing mobs which have resistances and avoidances. Finesse decreases an enemy’s resistances and avoidances. If the mob you are fighting has little to no resistances or avoidances, then Finesse is a waste. Here’s the problem, T2 mobs do have resistances and avoidances. Furthermore stat ratings are factored against on-level opponents, but T2 mobs out-level you. This means they are more likely to resist or avoid you. If the mobs you face are resisting/avoiding your attacks, Finesse Rating reduces their chance to do so.

However, all this changes when you get to level 106!!! Everything 106 and over is a whole new ball game, and you're going to need Finesse. A lot of it! Shoot for 20-30%. Tanks'll need it too, because 106+ mobs have some good resistances and avoidances!

Phys/Tact Mastery – 200% Cap

Percentage	Lvl 105	Lvl 115	Lvl 120
100%	20,250	40,500	101,250
150%	36,450	72,900	182,250
200%	60,750	121,500	303,750

You get a log of bang for your buck with mastery - it's better than linear! Stack as much as you want. DPSers, you'll want lots of Mastery.

Outgoing Healing – 70% Cap

Percentage	Lvl 105	Lvl 115	Lvl 120
25%	9,783	19,565	48,913
50%	25,000	50,000	125,000
70%	45,000	90,000	225,000

You do not get a lot of bang for your buck with Outgoing Healing. It's an awful curve. Not recommended.

Resistance – 50% Cap

Percentage	Lvl 105	Lvl 115	Lvl 120
20%	11,250	22,500	56,250
25%	15,000	30,000	75,000
50%	45,000	90,000	225,000 (240,387 in T2/T3)

Great returns up to 30%, then close to linear up to 50%.

Crit Defense – - 80% Cap

Percentage	Lvl 105	Lvl 115	Lvl 120
15%	4,655	9,310	23,276
25%	8,333	16,667	41,667
50%	20,455	40,909	102,273

Great returns up to 50%, then close to linear up to 80%.

Incoming Healing – 25% Cap

Percentage	Lvl 105	Lvl 115	Lvl 120
10%	11,250	22,500	56,250
15%	19,286	38,571	96,429
25%	45,000	90,000	225,000

Great returns up to 15%, then close to linear up to 25%. Tanks and healers should get some incoming healing. With Level 115 gear, this will have to come from essences, as there's no Incoming Healing on any gear (not sure about 120).

Avoidances B/P/E (Block/Parry/Evade) – 13% Cap on Full Avoidances, 35% Cap on Partial Avoidances, 50% Cap on Partial Mitigations

	Lvl 105	Lvl 105	Lvl 105	Lvl 115	Lvl 115	Lvl 115	Lvl 120	Lvl 120	Lvl 120
Percentage	Full Avoid	Partial Avoid	Partial Mitigation	Full Avoid	Partial Avoid	Partial Mitigation	Full Avoid	Partial Avoid	Partial Mitigation
7%	16,579	10,000	6,774	33,158	20,000	13,548	82,895	50,000	33,871
10%	28,125	15,000	10,000	56,250	30,000	20,000	140,625	75,000	50,000
13%	45,000	20,526	13,448	90,000	41,053	26,897	225,000	102,632	67,241
25%		50,000	30,000		100,000	60,000		250,000	150,000
35%		90,000	48,462		180,000	96,923		450,000	242,308
50%			90,000			180,000			450,000

Shoot for about 10% for Full Avoidances (140,625). That looks like a great number for all 3 BPE categories.

Also, add another 6,840 onto these numbers for T2/T3.

Tanks, get your BPE as high as possible!

Unfortunately, the curves on BPE aren't great, so you don't get much bang for your buck. As close to 200,000 as you can, is best!

Mitigations – 40%/50%/60% Caps (need additional 11,536 to get to cap on T2 instances)

In this table, I'm not even showing anything less than cap, because you need to get to your cap! This one's super important!

Armor Type	Lvl 105	Lvl 115	Lvl 120
Light	33,600	67,200	168,000 (179,536 for T2/T3)
Medium	40,929	81,857	204,643 (216,179 for T2/T3)
Heavy	46,980	93,960	234,900 (246,436 for T2/T3)

Morale/Power/ICPR/ICMR/NCPR/NCMR – No Caps

Armor – Mitigations

1 point of Armor = 1 point increase in Physical Mitigation

1 point of Armor = 0.2 point increase in Tactical Mitigation

U23 introduced HUGE changes to these values! WAAAAAAYYYYYY less Mastery points!!!

Enjoy!

Updated with U23 changes! Level 105 and 115 stuff has been modified, and level 120 stuff has been added. Special note - Might, Agility, and Will now give WAY less Mastery points!

Enjoy!

Great information! Thanks Finnok! Just wondering, are these values still accurate as of, um...today...which is...Update 24.something-or-other?...Oh! Vales! Accurate as of Vales release?
