Recording my musings on how to most effectively train ATPs as the thoughts come to me.
Should I take 10 ranks of Logic Training first to make everything else faster?
Nope.
At 750,000 exp to take that much Logic Training and a rate of one exp pulse per minute, someone would need to play for 750,001 minutes before this plan becomes a net benefit. Even someone who threw their initial 10 milestone ATPs at this and then added the other 5 over time would still need to play 250,001 minutes for it to pay off, which is equal to playing 24/7 for about 0.4756 years.
That's also not even factoring in the opportunity cost of not putting those points elsewhere. For the same amount of ATPs you could have an additional 10 AS, 5 CS for most professions, +5% chance for another damage cycle on Spike Thorn, etc.
How do I most efficiently become the best bolter (or locksmith) ever?
250k into Spell Aiming = +5 AS (50k per) 200k into Dexterity = +2 AS (100k per) 500k into Spell Aiming = +5 AS (100k per) 750k into Spell Aiming = +5 AS (150k per) 150k into Dexterity = +1 AS (150k per) 400k into Dexterity = +2 AS (200k per) 1.25m into Spell Aiming = +5 AS (250k per)
The same math also applies to improving Picking Locks or Dexterity.
When costs are equal, I'd give Dexterity precedence because it also improves SMRv2 defense or mstrike RT. SA does offer runestaff DS or spellburst protection, though.
I want to boost melee AS and nothing but melee AS, so how do I do it?
Basically the same math as above except now there are two things on the Dexterity scale...
250k into weapon ranks = +5 AS (50k per) 200k into Strength = +2 AS (100k per) 200k into Combat Maneuvers = +2 AS (100k per) +500k into weapon ranks = +5 AS (100k per) +150k into Combat Maneuvers= +1 AS (150k per) +150k into Combat Maneuvers = +1 AS (150k per) +750k into weapon ranks = +5 AS (150k per) +400k into Strength = +2 AS (200k per) +400k into Combat Maneuvers = +2 AS (200k per) +1.25m into weapon ranks = +5 AS (250k per)
When they're at the same rate, you can flip them around however you like. Aside from AS, Strength offers encumbrance benefits, CM offers maneuver defense, and weapon bonus decreases enemy EBP.
