Since the new patch is gonna have ranked rating on new pvp gear, I'm looking for a PVP ranked team. Im a combat sentinel paying on The Harbringer Server. If interested respond please.

i'd have to look at a parse to be sure but it always seems like i hit PS and BS but after I still would have PS off cd. I thought it wasn't activating but maybe it just resets from a proc. idk

Interesting idea.... will have to think about that.

Before 2.0 I used might aug till i hit 2100 str, I thought that was when diminishing returns started. I took into account all buffs to strength I would normally had in an ops run, so fully buffed I was at 2100. I started playing in Jan this year, so I was gearing up using might augs, but when I got to a point where upgrades were putting me over 2100 so then I might switch to overkills augs to get my str back down. Not sure how DR affects strength now but I planned on stacking strength over power until I hit whatever the DR point is now.

So what relics does a combat sentinel want for pve and pvp. Which damage is best for us, force, kinetic etc etc. I know some has armor penetration but with our PS do we need that?

Makes sense about saving TST. I tried upgrading into alacrity and definitely seems to be a dps loss instead of gain. But I'm reading people saying our resource generation isn't increased with alacrity, but isn't our resources built on attacks so therefore quicker attacks quicker resource generation. I assume people are referring to the fact our abilities cd's like ZS aren't decreased with alacrity. Personally I don't feel starved for focus though. I wonder about better gear with alacrity. As my gear gets better and I get more upgrades, will I be able to keep around at least 100 acc, 25 crit, and 70 surge, and then start throwing in some alacrity. Maybe then a point in alacrity will at least compete with points in other secondary stats in dps weight. Throw in the added mobility with quicker attacks and maybe then alacrity will be more appealing.

Is there a way to tell if OA procs (or anything that procs) other than look at the little buffs on the charcter frame. I have mine set small so I have trouble seeing them as soon as they proc without really watching. Just wondering how other people watch for procs.

My guess is your talking about focus. When you use zen u get 6 stacks of zen and each attack uses a stack, after you use the 6 stacks you lose your 30% alacrity bonus. Your attacks still use the same amount of focus while you have zen stacks.

I so want alacrity to be worth stacking as a combat sent. I fear it won't be. With that said, what is the stat priority now? I've been opening with dual saber throw then force leap but haven't read of anyone doing the same. Is there something I'm missing?
