First and foremost, if you are trying to get the most out of your Combat Entertainer as possible, I strongly advise you to read this guide created by the one and only BadgerSmaker. This gives a great detail on how to properly prepare for combat and how to approach it. Read it, learn in, love it.
This guide is intended to help you understand what buffs your Combat Entertainer should have. I am going to specifically list the buffs I feel are best for me currently, and this information may change over time as I play with different builds. Please note, that I have recently started playing with a new toon. My focus with this character is 100% Drama Entertainer build and I will be using every attack and debuff.
Profession Buffs
Entertainer does not offer combat profession buffs other than Void Dance and obviously the Ent Buff. I use Void Dance when I run up and encounter 3+ mobs at a time. The entertainer buff is extremely important and can be the best buff you can get. I HIGHLY recommend that if you’re serious about combat, get your Ent Buff from another player. This is the Entertainer Buff that I find to most useful for me.
- 1/1 Action Cost Reduction
- 1/1 Critical Chance
- 1/1 Glancing Blow
- 2/4 Second Chance (Reactive Heal)
- 1/5 Strength
Obviously we need ACR, and I feel that getting it from the Ent Buff is vital. I stack Critical Chance, so I need this to make the most out of my damage. GB is great to stack with my already innate amount and also with my debuffs. Second Chance is my new toy. 2/4 Second Chance gives me enough to see the reactive heal occur often. Healing for 800 every few seconds is a huge boost, especially when we do not have an innate heal! If you’re stacking Healing Potency, it will increase the Reactive Heal, though I do not advise stacking HP being the stim heals from Officer and GCW do not increase.
In addition to the Ent Buff, you need to get Medic Buffs as well as Officer tactical stims.
Grouped Buffs
The buffs all follow a grouped order, so certain buffs will stack, while others do not. In my build for Combat Ent, I find the following buffs to be the best combo:
- Lair Crystal (Betray Obi-Wan)
- Mustafarian Injector (Sickness of the Storm Lord) or Bio-Capacitance Discharge Bracer (Glowies)
- Shard of Retaliation (Obey Obi-Wan)
- Wild Force Shard (Offensive Burst)
This combo of grouped buffs will give you some great bonuses. Not that the Lair Crystal and Shard of Retaliation are impossible to get on your own. You need to do the quest and get the Lair Crystal, then buy the Shard of Retaliation. You can only pick one and the Lair Crystal is No Trade.
Food
There is nothing specific that will help Combat Entertainers, but something to consider using is Flameout or Accarragm
Heroic Jewelry
Unfortunately, we only have Heroism set right now, but that’s not to say it is not worth it. Get it if you can as the extra +150 to all stats adds up fast!
Obviously, from here you stack your Power Ups and any other additions you get from your group members. Being self sufficient is important.

). This time she’ll get to meet them again and at the biggest show of the year, and hopefully explain how they’ve played such a huge roll in our lives. We also got paid for a website we built TOGETHER and it was a very generous. I was finally able to buy a monitor for my computer I’ve been dying to get. We also bough a calibration tool for our monitors.
