I used 6 V mods yesterday and bought a tier 5 piece and my CR only went up 1 point. I have used mods to jump 3-4 CR before is that no longer able to happen?
yes they did its harder to raise cr than before know a guy has 2x 85 rings , 87 weapon ,4 parts 86 + 2 parts 87 +2 parts 88 gear full exp moded and still cr99 ...
No they haven't changed it. It's still the same. If you want help with how to raise your CR there are a couple CR calculators around and you can visit http://dcuniverseonline.wikia.com/wiki/Combat_Rating to see how it's calculated.
If you add up all your item levels based on those numbers you will get CR that is listed under your stats. If you want me to do the math for you, post your item levels (including the increases of the mods) and I'll do the calculation as well. A screen shot would probably be easier and faster lol
There's a bunch of threads in Oracle's Database with CR calculators, Sumeric's is probably the best. I recommend using that if you want a CR calculator. If it says you should have gone up by only a couple then that is probably just an error in my equation which has always been a best estimate. It's probably just a rounding factor on your gear - you won't be too far from the next CR!
