Maybe, but it's unlikely. The changes to Veng require 36 points, because you need Shatter for Rampage, otherwise you're stuck with one stack of Rampage. 36 Pt Veng has solid damage, but it doesn't have the passive survivability. What made Ion AP work was the 30% in Stabilized Armor. Soresu Jugg will be weak. Sin hybrids will be pretty decent, on the other hand.
As for ranked, I won't be participating. Most people I feel comfortable playing with have quit the game/moved off server, and I hardy play anymore either. The ranked on all servers is dying, tbh. If you're really expecting solid, competitive PvP, you should move off servers. With the "mass exodus" of other games, and even the graphics update on WoW (which is a big plus for some), SWTOR is going to take a hit, especially in the PvP aspect. Best of luck to you all.
