Personally preferring a 22% crit scenario with higher alacrity (6.5%). My surge is only 68% but I put out top DPS every match so... I guess its working?
Don't do solo ranked. The past couple of weeks its been trolled by a person who comes in without augments or gear and stands there, dying in two seconds. They then laugh at their team as they lose.
The acknowledgement that these exist is the best part of this post. Good luck finding an apprentice and glad to see there are still some REAL sith RPers left.
I was thinking about this today and just as an example:
In other games, PvP "Rank" so to speak had buy-able rewards from vendors.
I think that by adding buy-able rewards for differently valor ranks would give more incentive and purpose to valor as well as something for people to strive for.
