Epic Zen Mounts: 2K Power vs 2K Crit vs 2K ARP?

I'm about to buy an Epic Zen mount on my CW, and wasn't sure which of the three stat choices above would be ideal (I think these are the Drake, Howler, and Tiger)— is there a reason to prefer one stat configuration over another?

I thought about it a bit, and wondered whether one stat could be harder to get than others, and it would be better to use the mount to get the more scarce stat? Further, I plan to level a DPS/Healer Cleric, in which case, it would seem the first two choices are better (since ARP doesn't do anything for heals).

Thoughts?

    I bought Power mount mainly because it is the only stat that doesn't cap. So you can use him no matter how good you will become. I personally think Crit mount is better for starters.
    Don't buy ARP it's so easy to cap Resistance ignored.

    Agreed.

    Crit is also nice because quite a few CW builds are crit-dependent. As are many other builds too... almost all dps / support classes have a viable crit builds. But power is even more versatile and especially towards the end-game it's easy to get enough crit from gear/companions.

    I feel I haven't added anything to this discussion :expressionless:

    Lett me add less.

    To cap crit, you are certainly going to have to use crit enchants, so a crit mount is going to be useful either way. If you cap crit, you can switch enchants, and increase whatever you need.

    Also crit is relevant all across the classes. I have only seen a few builds that intentionally keep their crit low, with owlbear cub as an example.

    As a general rule, more crit gives more dps. Just ask the guys who tested it. So for dps, crit comes first.

    The ZEN mounts are account unlock, so there are a few cases where a power mount could be better, unless you'll grab the dps right away. Having a 2k power mount when leveling up a new toon on lvl 4 is hilarious.

    Thanks, all!

    I went with Crit, and am seeing the gains in my main (crit build). I had a bit of buyer's remorse on my L13 alts, seeing how 2,000 Power would've been ridiculous, but I figured crit will be more than fine for the end game anyway.

    Hope everyone enjoyed the Black Friday weekend!
