Friend-Rage, when properly specced (there are several great specs out there, depending on what you want to do) is incredibly efficient. Our DPS from smash, with the shockwave perks, is fantastic. Plus it is AOE, which is always fun.
Just be aware, we are reliant on our cooldowns, and while we are waiting we are often a target. We are always a target. People are afraid of other people in armor with light sabers.
