So, I know it used to be you had to get through chapter 2... are you guys now saying I must get past chapter 3 to enable the legacy buff?

Coming back after a hiatus and I understand how the legacy buffs work and all but I do have a question. After the 7.0+ updates, I understand the buff button is gone. If you're eligible for one of the legacy buffs you'll simply have it on, with no button to press anymore. But... If I create say a new BH, thereby following the BH storyline but I use the Operative "skillset" and go past chapter 2, is that going to unlock the BH buff or the IA buff? Does anyone know?

From levels 1 - 61 I've been doing Heroic 2+ missions to supply me with prototype armor. Now that I'm past 61 that is no longer the case. What I need is a suggestion. How do I get armor now? I do exclusively PvE content (I DETEST PvP). I realize that at 75 I'll need "special" types of armor but I have NO idea where to get it from. Can someone please explain in detail what I should be doing now for armor. And PLEASE... don't say to just buy it from the GTN or make it. I'm used to getting it from missions or Heroic's.
