Evaluating PvP gear for 1.2

Soon the patch will be upon us and we will be trading out our Battle Master gear for the brand new War Hero Set. The new gear is clearly an upgrade to the current gear we can obtain and it retains the same set bonuses so you don't have to worry about losing your 15% Rail Shot critical bonus.

However 1.2 also brings crafters the ability to critically craft custom gear. So what does this mean for us Bounty Hunters?
Well when you critically craft a piece of gear it has a chance to obtain an Augment slot allowing for the addition of an Augment. With 1.2 allowing us to pull the Armor mods out of the War Hero gear in addition to the set bonuses it carries, we can place them in critically crafted custom gear along with Augments for better stats.

So basically in order to compete with everyone else we will have to use this custom gear with the mods from the new War Hero gear along with Augments in each slot. While this does give us a bit more customization options I fear that all the effort the game artists put into our awesome looking War Hero set will be for nothing because we're all going to be running around in level 30 something armor.

So for now start getting your credits ready, the best looking pieces will surely sell for the highest. And remember if your wearing the actual War Hero gear, your doing it wrong.

Have fun collecting the best looking Bounty Hunter gear. And please no more slave girl outfits, that does not belong on the most feared Bounty Hunter in the galaxy.
