Thread: Most effecient HAM setting with powerboost ?
Hi,
now Powerboost is a great skill, I was wondering how to set up my stat, my char is a human and currently I have
Health : 900
Strength : 600
Constitution : 400
Action : 900
Quickness : 550
Stamina : 400
Mind : 700
Willpower : 550
Focus : 400
So when I use poweboost I end up with 1250hp/1250 action/1050mind, though I was wondering if the points I put in str and quickness arereally worthing it, cause if I lower them both to 400 then I can have a base mind of 1000 and thus end up with 1400/1400/1500 after powerboost.
What you guys think about that? do the point in quick and str really worth the loss of hp, action and mind or I better start migrate my stat ?
I have about the same
900 health
600 strength
475 constitution
800 action
450 quickness
475 stamina
700 mind
400 focus
600 willpower
works just fine for me <3.
I play human TKA my ham setup is
Health 800/500/400
Action 800/500/400
Mind 800/600/600
This gives a 400 boost to the primary stats using powerboost, if you want a bigger boost migrate as much of your stats to mind stat.
I have had this setup for a while and it works fine for me, I have medic so I use stimpacks to heal damage during combat thats why my willpower and focus are maxed.
Also I have not really used powerboost that much yet, as it has only just been fixed, so I may have to reorganise my hams a bit to take advantage of it.
I started migrating stats to mind last night to take advantage of the 1000 cap. I think my health and action will be at 950 when it's done. My plan is to see how far I can get this. I figure if I have 1000 mind, start watching a master dancer, take a muon gold to add 500 (1500), stop watching (3000),powerboost and add 1500 to all 3 (4500 mind). Then toss on my master doc buffs
I had my best buff last night of 2808 action, so it should be interresting.
With that strat in mind, I figure I could get my HAM up to 5000+, 5000+, 4500
As I have novice medic and great stims, I am concerned more with reducing the cost of moves than the regen, so I keep STR and QUI maximized and CON and STAM minimized. I then max my mind stats and put the rest into health and action. I don't remember the stats offhand, but I'm trando.
I also don't wear armor yet in case that helps.
I see some tka did as me and put point into str and quick, though, do you find it really makes a great difference in the cost of special move ?
I mean, if you can have let s say 1000 mind instead of 800 ( because you have point into str and quick ),you got more mind for heal and spamm tka moveand also with powerboost there s a better bonus at the end. Though the thing to know is to see if the increased movecost for hp and action bar ( because of fewer point into str and quick )makes so that you end up using more stim and thus finally just burning the added mind into stim heal, resulting in no difference.
I started to migrate all points I was having in str (from 600 to 400)and quick (from 550 to 400)toward mind, and wrotte down the cost of KD2 and UH3 with and without vibroknuckler.Once the migration is finished, will check again the move costand post them so we can see wether or not there s a noticable difference that would give sense to have point into str and quick
I have mine still at 500 because I have not migrated them yet. keep thinking about it but never get around to it.
I think I calculated it last time it works out about to 1 to 2 point ham cost for every 10 points on the stat, or something similar it was not a great amount.
It is minimal amount but it did help when I used VK's a lot, I dont use them that often now and when I do I usually take some tat sunburn, so really these stats can probably be migrated.
The mind stats (focus and willpower) I have maxed due to medic/doctor skills and I use stimpacks a lot during combat either myself or a group member. Apart from spices there is no real good buff to the mind stats.
My HAMs are
Health: 800
Action: 800
Mind: 1100
My secret for Powerboost (This is for myself): Take a Moun Gold, powerboost. You end up with 2400 Mind.... Then wait two minutes, watch a Master Dancer for 5 minutes, and they double your current HAM. So you're now up to 4800. Wait until your moun gold and first powerboost run out, you'll have 3500. Then, take another Moun Gold, which puts you up to 4000, then powerboost one last time.
Each stat will be upped by 2000 for about 9 minutes, which is:
Health: 2800
Action: 2800
Mind: 6000
You can still take any chef buffs you want, food or drink. And remember, if you're still under the influence of the moun gold, you'll have +500 to focus/willpower. If you're a novice medic with some high quality stim Bs, it costs 25 mind to heal 800 health action. So you can take almost any mob in the game, solo. No pets, whatsoever. Of course, I'm a Teras Kasi Master, so that helps. ![]()
