Lets say your warjack/helljack/bonejack/myrmidon has one focus left on it. What do you do? Do you boost attack, increasing your chance to hit? Do you boost damage, hoping to inflict great pain? Do you buy another attack, spreading your chances among more opportunities? Or do you have your 'jack do something else? Lets say anything you choose would be beneficial to you for whatever the situation is. Which would you choose? What is your preference? What is your favorite thing to do with focus?

I would buy another attack. I love rolling dice.

Not enough data.

Edited OP to include some clarification.

Again, not enough data. What's the target's defense? My MAT? Their armor? My P+S? Is there a water feature nearby? Does my jack have any special abilities like Arcane Vortex or Gaze of Menoth?

Pick whatever situation you want. I'm not looking for what is optimal... I'm looking for what do you like to do. For example I love Mint n' Chip Ice Cream... I'd put it as my favorite food... but it wouldn't be optimal for certain meals or diets... but I like it anyway.

Needs a "whatever's optimal" choice then.

Haha good call

*modifies poll*

I voted other "what ever is optimal".

I also voted for "whatever is optimal". Am I fighting a Bonejack or something with high Defense? Obviously boost to hit. Against a Khador 'jack, depending on what 'jack or caster I'm hitting them with, I'll be boosting damage or buying another attack. Obviously if I'm using an ROF 1 weapon, I'm going to boost.

Neato chart.

Added a bit more to the OP.

My Khador jacks usually "Boost attack roll !" anyway, if they are already boosted(full throtle, UR) , then it is "Buy another one" !" I seldom boost damage roll.

I would boost damage since I only fight Khadorans, and I practically hit automatically. Damaging them, on the other hand...

That graph is fantastic! I should print it off and keep it handy somewhere. Where did you find it?

/Your jacks still use steam?! lol....

On the PP forums somewhere, it's got info about who made it at the bottom.

Make the jack some Hummus!
