According to the dulfy guide for the Watchman Sentinel, one of the stats I need to gear for is Aclarity. Why? I thought that only effected force powers? As I understood things, the only force power I get is instant hit anyway so there's nothing to speed up. Can someone explain this to me, please? Thank you.

aclarity (lol) effects everything except specifically named abilities. i don't know where you got the idea that it only effects force powers, but that has never been true. it shortens cast and channel times, but also reduces the global cooldown. i.e. you can use your next ability sooner. so, 10% alacrity would be a "free" extra attack every 15 seconds.

Must be cool down then. Got it, thank you.

It also speeds up how quickly your dots hit, so it is very important for a dot spec like watchman.

Yeah you really want the alacrity bants numbers are about spot on
