Depends on your class, tbh. Can’t really say power without knowing class, and you also have to take into account Precision and Ferocity unless you’re planning to use a Condi-based build

For example, I generally aim for about 2500-2600 power minimum on my Warrior with Food and Utilities on (mainly Sharpening Stone since I often use Seaweed Salad for food), but I also have 55% Crit Chance and 205% crit damage.

Also keep in mind there is no ‘over doing it’. You can’t really make hybrid builds, either go full damage or full support. And if you go full damage, your concern should be “What’s the squishiest I can handle?” If you can handle full Berserker, go full berserker. If you keep dying, put some tankier gear on. As a newbie, I’d suggest a mixture of Marauder and Soldier for any power-based (direct damage) build, and as you slowly get better you can add berserker pieces.
