Mods & their attributes

If you look at Vader under a Palpatine lead (probably best Sith leader), the important part of Palpatine leadership is

When an Empire ally inflicts a debuff during their turn, they gain 20% Turn Meter. When a Sith ally inflicts a debuff during their turn, they recover 20% Health. When a debuff on an enemy expires, Empire and Sith allies gain 5% Turn Meter.

So Vader's goal is go very quickly get as many debuffs of the possible 20 debuffs to stick with force crush and fire off a culling blade on a glass cannon where you get a one shot kill and 100% turn meter to go again.

So Vader needs debuffs to stick so a potency cross is important to him.

The triangle should be crit damage, offense or crit chance because you want a crit on the culling blade to do as much damage as possible or you just want to increase damage to guarantee a kill on culling blade so that you can go straight away again.

The arrow should be speed (like with nearly everyone) and the circle should be protection because you get a much higher % protection than health. Square and octagon have a fixed primary.

Sets should probably be crit chance or crit damage to increase damage output again.

There's no one size fits all with mods but you have to figure out how they work and how it makes a difference.

Potency >Tenacity.

Proct>HP

Speed is pretty universal (except in a few fringe cases), but after that it really depends on the toon in question.

Higher Tenacity gives you a better chance to resist debuffs.

Thank you both. Is thee a thread or other resource that more fully explains the mod attributes?

If there's a particular character you have in mind I will try and explain what's the standard mod set and why it's valuable with the character.

That's very kind of you- At the moment I'm looking at Sith. Vader, Marauder, Assassin, and Sion. That's all the Sith I have now, but I'm working on Nihilus.

That is fantastically helpful- thank you. It not only gives me something specific to work toward but also tells me why these mods are beneficial to his character.

I really appreciate your time and help.

No worries, each character is different so you need to understand what makes your character works to pick primary stats. There used to be websites with reccomendations for each character but they all got out of date.

I don't know what level you are but it can be immensely easier to ignore the mod sets and just get 5* health mods with the primaries Naraic mentioned

Agreed getting the right primaries with decent speed secondaries comes first, getting good set bonuses comes later
