1.17 endurace drain bad?

I recently decided to make some slight changes to my widow build. However if I do make this change I have the following questions.

As part of my change I am left with an option of having an endurance drain of 1.09 with a good increase to def, or I can take an endurance drain of 1.17 and still get a good increase to my def, and a mostly small increase above the option that the 1.09 endurance drain offers.

Keep in mind that I am using the Cardiac Alpha slot. Both of the 1.09 and 1.17 will be my final total endurance drain in the end. So would it be wise to take as much as I can get / 1.17? or stay humble with the 1.09?

If need be I can post my build, but I thought it best ask first about the end drain. Thank you.

Post your build, that way we can see it and maybe suggest how to fix the endurance drain for you. I've found that is the best way to determine these things, as I had a banespider build with the same problem and got help for it.

Fair enough. My build. 1.17 current. If you change the lotg in maneuvers to the def/end lotg you will get 1.09 end drain.

it isn't bad at all. you should be fine, especially if you go with the Cardiac alpha.

Just a note about endurance, your net end gain is MUCH more important than your endurance drain figure alone which without seeing the recovery figure is actually meaningless. Net recovery is the only stat to care about.

Some people seem to have this idea that a 2:1 ratio of recovery to drain is a build goal but it doesn't really mean anything.

As for your build as long as your attacks are well slotted for endrd (And with Cardiac the will be) then you will generally be fine and losing 0.08 eps is pretty here nor there unless you are calculating for using a specific attack chain.

The real endurance drain you should be looking at is your attacks, especially since Night Widows eat endurance like crazy. Without Cardiac or Ageless, my rough estimation puts you at running out of endurance in under a minute of constantly attacking.

Also, the new ATO set Spider's Bite, may help a bit with your endurance. I think I seen BlueRuckus post the stats from beta for it, if you 6 slot it I think it adds up to 3.6% to endurance. So, that may be something to look into.

I got 2.1 on my blaster 2.6 with ninja run

you build looks solid, just 1 quick thing i see which is not a big deal, but thought i would share. In manuvers you slotted LOTG defense. I would just slot an lv50 defense IO you get the same numbers but not have the huge cost of the LOTG unless of course it was the global recharge LOTG. Like i said not a big deal just saving some Inf for ya.

One thing I don't recall anyone mentioning this (and I apologize if I missed it in another post), Grab the 4 accolades that give you permanent bonuses to your endurance and hit points. It ends up being 10 more endurance points, which will improve your recovery to 3.43 without the Alpha slot, and over 200 hit points to your build.
