    do you think robot sidekick is worth dropping the 3% crit attack chance innate?

    I see robot sidekick as a way to tell if someone has cut/paste their dps loadout from dcuo blogguide.
    I'd always pick crits over it.

    the 3% innate is better than the 10% innate and robotsidekick is not an option to crit % innates.

    No. Just no.

    I'd go with 3% Crit. Robot sidekicks die very easily.

    Robot sidekick makes you look like a noob IMO. Leave robo for the under 30 missions.

    If I've said it once I'll say it a Million times, ALWAYS go for your Crit %'s 1st be it in the Iconics or SP's 1. they scale and 2. they enable you to do more damage. Easy win here for the %. As for the Robo its no good in High Tier content, but the Robo holds a special place in my heart and my current build allows for the extra PP but I put it on the +100 heath instead because that poor robot just dies so fast.

    Wow, so much anti robot, lol. Not arguing against the innate but, Like other pets, Robot DOES scale with cr. ( orange DMG )

    I can get the crits plus the robot. And since I have a free slot in my power bar why not use robot. You cast him once and it's free damage. There is literally nothing of worth left once I have one power point left.

    Yea I'll admit I'm anti robot (have you seen what they do to the future in terminator? :p )
    Every powerset has more than adequate powers within its trees to not need to rely on rodot sidedish... Unless it fits in with the character theme you've created, then there's nothing wrong with that :)

    Main reason folks use RS is because, with WM builds, you have at least one empty slot on your bar (buff, burst, DoT, SC). Might as well take RS with you.

    Chance > magnitude > robot sidekick

    The gap between the first two and the third is about the size of a small planet

    nothing is worth giving up crits NOTHING.

    now if you have power points to get both your iconic crits + robot side kick sure get robot side kick other wise naw get your crits other wise your dmg will go to s*** trust me.


    I know ppl who have as many of the WM innates and no crits in their weapon trees, just padding their base stats that have like 160+ SP and I beat them in dmg by over 4 mil in raids

    crits make up alot of your dmg providing your DPSing and all :p

    for pre-30? whaaa

    if you need robot side kick for pre-30 then you my friend are a noob lol

    you should be 1-hitting everything pre-30 by now, and t1-t5 and even early T6 stuff even.

    Side Note: you obviously haven't played prec/might based powers eh? because robot side kick is decent for alot of powers still, and Im here to tell ya Im no noob ;)
