1 - How much accuracy do we shoot for?
2 - Do we follow the PvE stat ratios (Accuracy>Crit>Surge>Tech Power/Power>Alacrity)?
- Accuracy to 108%
- Surge 72-75%
- Crit 32-35%
- At what point does Power become the best stat?
3- Is alacrity completely useless in PvP as well as PvE? I figured that the increased movement and deaths might help counter the increased heat generation that Alacrity could cause in a normal PvE rotation.
4 - Is anyone aware of a BiS list of PvP gear specific to Arsenal? I see so many different gear setups in other Arsenal BH's and have not seen any correlation between them that would be indicative of a most common set up.

5 - Does Accuracy reduce target's armor? I have read conflicting reports on this.

6 - Lastly, has this thread become so docile due to the impending nerfs that 1.2 will bring to the class as a whole? Or, is there another community site that has most of the ongoing BH discussions?

7 - Oh and one other thing.......are they going to reset warzone/merc/bm commendations to zero when 1.2 hits.

1. 5% is generally the number to shot for, this is after talents, so you need 2% from gear if have the hit talents.
2. I am not sure, that is a better guide than nothing.
3. Alacrity isn't useless in PvP, but it is the weakest stat.
4. No idea.
5. No, accuracy only removes defense.
6. I am not sure where people go to discuss SWTOR PvP, www.arenajunkies.com is a popular WoW PvP site. Taugrim has a decent blog, but it is mostly focuses on Powertech (but some things apply to all ACs).
7. You keep all your comms in patch 1.2, but champ/bm/cent comms can only buy boxes and wz comms will buy BM gear. The new ranked wz comms buy the War Hero gear if you have the BM piece. You can turn 1 merc comm for 1 wz comm in 1.2.

I am the same person from the EJ Paladin forums.
