I have read two differing opinions, so I would like some others. I am a 10 point doc and have pretty solid resources. What should I experiment on max pwr, max charges or some combo there of? Thanks in advance.

I think the common opinion is charges first and then power with what points you have left.

Like a fool I wasted a ton of resources on exp pts instead of charges, the increase was minimal at best. Charges,charges,charges all the way

Makea Stim-B with a High Power ABEC and then another one with High Charge ABEC, keeping all otheritems/resources the same,to see if there is a difference, it's a good test.

Charges definately, especially if you area buff/stim seller.

Charges over power 99.9% of the time.


But for something like what Im gonna do soon, I will need to go power over charges to reach 950+ power packs. This is a rare and special case though.

I always experiment charges before power. In fact, I have dropped PE from consideration in Lok Wild Wheat selection since I never fill that bar during experimentation anyway.

Charges, you just won't get your exp points worth out of power with the final product.

Normally it's true, charges over power. But...

I'm in the process of making buffs with Veggie CRDM's and need every point of power I can get. They're just for me and friends and they're not bad. I'm making 861 power, 23 charge, 3 hour buffs on the Veggies! Good enough for me and I don't need Herb Meat or Class 4 ever again unless I want something special. BTW I use these same Veggie CRDM's in my Stim B's and get 40 use, 426 power which I sell.


Next is my project of regular BEC's. I have some 1000 OQ resources that may do the trick. Never tried that before, so we'll see.

It's not too commonly known that the difference in power/charges in a subcomponent transfer 1:1 directly to the final product. So...
ABEC with 24C/14P = Stim B with 38C/420P
ABEC with 14C/24P = Stim B with 28C/430P

Considering this, what would you rather have... 10 more charges or 10 more power in the final product? The only cases I can think of where that 10 points of power MIGHT make a difference is poison/disease cures [must have the one shot heal in PvP] and buff packs specifically for PvP. The "bang for your buck" definitly goes to charges over power no matter the case.

EDIT: Oops, turned power/charges around in the last sentence...
