Thread: Power-Ups Whats the best combination?
I would have to agree that Max Dam/Min Dam seems to be the most popular. Other special pu's, like Attack Speed/Mind Cost Reduction help rifle users for instance.
I have a PowerUp shop on our server and I try to keep at least 75 crates stocked at all times. I also make to order anything over 10 crates on an order. I am also able to get the two main attributes impacted, 33.16% and 16.24%...plus add an additional 8% and 8% to have 4 attributes.
Thus a popular powerup might be:
33% Attack Speed Increase/16% Min Damage Increase/8% Wound Chance Increase/8% Health Cost Reduction.
I have about 10 different 4 attribute combinations I sell regularly. They are very popular and if you get a few guild customers, who order 50-100 crates at a time, it can be very lucrative.
I find it interesting that everyone hones in on the max/min damage powerups. If you actually calculate out Average Damage Per Minute for each weapon, before and after powerup use, it is very tough to beat a Speed powerup for the first attribute. Thus Speed/Min dam is an excellent combination. If you use Special shots, I find Action/Mind to be a great combo...I can use more special shots with my carbine and also gain more xp per session. Speed is not good for me...having more shots per minute just drains my action even further..thus I pray for a damage slice AND I powerup with a 33% max dam pu that also has 3 other attributes..makes for some great damage dishing!
Good topic discussion.

Visit my PowerUp Shop just West of Mos Eisley at 2514 -4400. Always over 75 crates in stock.
but to give you "more luck" (i.e. more random chances at multiple stats, experiment your powerups one exp point at a time.
