[Nayllem]

Can anybody explain why Surge is ranked so low on our gearing priority? I assume it's because in order for surge to work, you must first hit. After you hit, you must crit, and then you get your benefit out of it; but at 108% accuracy and 30% crit (unbuffed), it seems like Surge would eventually come out ahead of Power since it's a pretty high ratio.

Unless I screwed up my math, 100 surge is like ~19.8% critical strike damage, which is huge (especially once you factor in things like +100% crit on Force Scream); a lot better than then ~23 bonus damage you'd get from 100 power.
