Forcemaster Hm skills

[Issy]

Hey,

 

Im new to the forums and was wondering if anyone could tell me if the forcemaster HM skill are worth it for PVE. I know that the LMB is good but I'm not sure about the others.

Could someone give me reasons why the others are good or should i save the duelist pack for another character.

 

Thanks for reading =)

Most HM skills for FMs give small DPS increases.

 

HM LMB

HM Inferno

HM Force Blast

HM 2 (PvE)

HM4 is a DPS increase for high ping players, and very good aoe

 

Duelist pack is meant to get a character started in PvP - and FMs are very PvP HM skill reliant... but for PvE, most are significant but not amazing DPS increases.

[Half]

HM [LMB] -> stage 2 burning build dmg increase / stage 1 frost build damage increase (stage 2 if burning fm is in party)

HM [1] stage 1 -> block against meele attacks - in first case pvp skill

HM [1] stage 2-4 -> stage 3 burning build dmg increase / stage 4 frost build dmg increase

HM [2] stage 1, 3, 4 -> stage 1 only usefull against many mobs with alot of hp (not very usefull) / stage 3 burning build dmg increase / stage 4 disable focus problems for frost build burst phase

HM [2] stage 2 -> defensive skills and deflect skill penetration (pvp)

HM [4] -> stage 1 disable enemies defensive skills (pvp) / stage 2 gives the person you helped to regenerate chi 10s iframe shield / stage 3 is useless / stage 4 very helpfull aoe

HM [X] fire stage 1, 3 -> stage 1 big dmg increase / stage 3 useless

HM [X] fire stage 2 -> definetly critical hit against stunned/dazed enemies (pvp)

 

So nothing wrong for every kind of pve specc is HM [LMB]; [1] stage 2-4; [2] stage 1, 3, 4 and [4]. For burning build HM [X] stage 1, 3 is needed too. For ToI and pvp the other HM skills are interessting too.

Thanks for all the responses. Im working on farming mobs for LMB hm skill.

Probably better off farming achievement points for that one.
