Strategy - Type 18/19 Aug Strategy for Tank/Caster/Melee/Priest (1 Viewer)

[Granditos]

EDIT 1/7/25- Updated with new type 19s (ToB).

Here is my list with help from the community:

This is assuming the following slots (Rallos Zek, NoS Cloak, LS Neck, ToB Ring- up to conq ACH- you might have slightly different aug slots depending on where you are in progression): 8 Type 19 and 4 type 18 (but added two more type 18 for progression along the way)

I tried to prioritize the augs by listing the highest priority first and bolding the must haves.

Lore group for Proc augs:

ToB, NoS (Selenilion, which includes the anniv mission + anniv raid), TBL

LS (Legacies Lost) And ToV (Rallos Zek)

Priests:
I guess none of the proc augs… maybe casting magic and/or assaulting procs for shamans.
So a combo of:
Enhancements
Fortification
Strategy
Assaults

Thank you for this. Been looking for something like this.

 

[Many_Whelps]

Melee proc augs (Assaulting) are incredibly weak. As a melee main, I won't use them. I go for 4x Attacker augs and the rest enhancement. I'd even go back and get older Enhancement vs newer fortification/assault/strategy augs.

 

[darbes]

The procs are weak and if your a server with considerable lag your actually hurting your dps by allot.

This for melee procs only? I know casters stack as many as they can.

Good call. I’ll update the list.

 

[darbes]

Either procs can really bog down the dps. Melee may be worse off but wizards have a TON of procs when they have everything going.

Check it again. Just updated the whole list. Let me know what you think.

You seem to be favoring augs from the most recent expansions, which is fine if that's what your intended purpose is. Personally, I use Enhancement augs from Rallos Zek and TBL era over current xpac fort/assault/stealth varieties because they give more hStats overall.

 

[RetNavChief]

Would the Acolyte's Defense of the Harbinger which Increases your AC softcap by 6%, this is not good for a SK tank? My SK's AC is only around 13400 with shaman and group buffs.

Interesting. I didn't even consider that but upon further review:

Both TBL and ToV Enhancement are 20 ac 500hp and mana and 20 hStats.

LS Assault is 86 AC, 1235 Hp and mana, and 13hSta... Not sure missing the 20hdex/agi and 7hSta is worth the 735hp/mana and 66ac on the newer ones. 1 point of hSta is approx 15hp (so the missing 7 is only 105 hps).

Again, we are splitting hairs here but that is sort of the point of this post.

Yeah, i'm polling to group to see if it is worth stacking 2 more defense augs in the 18 slots versus fortification and enhancements. I'm really not sure. But it could be 2x defense in 19s and 2x defense in 18s.

You get to a point of diminishing returns with AC +% stuff

You were right. Swapped Attacker augs back in for Defense augs. Went 4x attacker on tank.

I think for tank, fortification augs are better than enhancement due to the additional AC. For melee went enhancement.

question about Attacker augs. If my accuracy is at 300/300, would attacker still be best?

 

[TempusX]

question about Attacker augs. If my accuracy is at 300/300, would attacker still be best?

the attacker aug modifies your "Attack: xxxx / XXXX" value, not your "Accurancy 300/300" value. In this instance the four attackers modify the "chance to hit" value (the big XXXX's) in my example and will stack.

Regarding your inquiry for an SK to use defense or attacker, I would say use the attackers.

As a raid SK, I run all 4 attackers because they increase my chance to hit, meaning more leech healing (and dps) I pull. The defenders are fine but because they mod your CS skill, the instant you switch out of 1h proficiency, you're penalized and your combat stability skill is completely negated by 2h stance. I'll raid tank that way - in 2h stance unless the mob is hitting so hard (or i have many) that it's impractical.

So in that instance for an SK the defender augs become completely worthless aside of their basic stat values. The attacker augs give you full uptime.

 

[BlankStare]

There are two main buckets of 18/19 augs:

TBL-NoS-TOB -- this includes the anniversary ones, as they are part of the NoS set
ToV-LS

Inside of that, you have group (type 18) and Raid (type 19) versions. The anniversary mission and anniversary raid both slide into the NoS set, as I mentioned before.

Augs which don't have foci stack without any issues. You can have all 10 enhancements if you want to.

Augs with foci will generally not stack with one another.
Type 18 and 19 Ventral augs DO NOT stack focuses
Type 18 and 19 Dorsal augs DO NOT stack focuses
Type 18 and 19 Soothing augs DO NOT stack focuses
Type 18 Dorsal and Type 19 Ventral DO stack (and visa versa)
Type 18 and 19 Defender (soft cap ac) DO stack
Type 18 and 19 Attacker (accuracy) DO stack
Type 18 and 19 Casting DO stack
Type 18 and 19 Assaulting DO stack
Type 18 and 19 Defending DO stack
Type 18 and 19 Protecting of same resist DO NOT stack
Type 18 and 19 Warding of same resist DO NOT stack


What this means is you can have at-most 4 attacker augs that actually do anything.
If you take a Ventral (frontal reduction) aug it should be the raid version of the most recent expansion. If you want the Dorsal (rear arc) you use the group version.


I hope this helps to explain a bit to help you decide you augs!

For most of my classes I take Attackers + Enhancements + Fortitude (hdex/AC) augs.
I skip healing bonus, armor class, resist augs. They're abolutely pointless.
For my tanks (and clerics) I use a Ventral aug. For my casters and any hybrid I will consider the assaulting augs because the procs can crit, whereas they won't crit on say a rogue.

 

[EvilBarny]

would the melee DD proc augs be good on a bard being they mod proc DD damage so much ?

 

[NALGAS374]

the attacker aug modifies your "Attack: xxxx / XXXX" value, not your "Accurancy 300/300" value. In this instance the four attackers modify the "chance to hit" value (the big XXXX's) in my example and will stack.

I'll raid tank that way - in 2h stance unless the mob is hitting so hard (or i have many) that it's impractical.

So in that instance for an SK the defender augs become completely worthless aside of their basic stat values. The attacker augs give you full uptime.

so i should stack attack on ranger?

 

[Granditos]

so i should stack attack on ranger?

Yes. Only pure casters should use the pros augs currently.

 

[Granditos]

would the melee DD proc augs be good on a bard being they mod proc DD damage so much ?

I think you are still better off with attacker and enhancements.

 

[Granditos]

Updated with all new type 19s which made a decent change and removed the need for most of the anniversary augs other than enhancement.
