If I may, however, I have two questions I was hoping any of you all might be willing to address:

1) For Camp DPS Relics, should I use a relic that does internal or kinetic damage? Earlier in the thread there was some disagreement as to whether armor debuffs still stack in ops post-1.2 but couldn't find any definitive resolution to the issue. Thus, I was wondering which damage type would provide optimal damage output.

2) I finally finished crafting my augmented pve/pvp sets, and am wondering what sorts of augments I should use. I was planning on just stacking STR augs but I am unsure whether STR suffers from DR? I was under the impression that it does not, but wanted to double-check before having all the augs crafted. To the extent that my existing stats will influence the answer, my current stats, buffed and stimmed, are:

1821 Strength
191 Power
256 Surge
36.59% Crit Chance
98.09% Accuracy

Thanks in advance for any help or advice you all might be able to provide.

Regards,

Here's the armor debuff post, they do stack and actually stack additively:

So for relics I would go with this advice from the 1.2 Gunslinger post:
"On-hit Relic: On-hit relics have a 30% chance to do a little extra damage. There are elemental/internal ones which do less damage but don't hit armor, and kinetic/energy ones which do more damage but do hit armor. After factoring in a constant 20% armor debuff on the target, elemental and internal relics do 7 more damage than the kinetic and energy damage relics."

Internal/Elemental seems to be the way to go.

2. As for your stats, I would do the following:
-Get Accuracy to 100%
-Drop crit to 30-23%
-Put everything else into Power and Strength. I would shoot for 500-600 power.
