Congrats! Random roll is random, but I choose to believe that the weighted roll table had something to do with your good luck. Thank you, Devs!

So you think you're a hero, huh.

I'd have to agree, prior to the weighted roll table, I would never random roll. Now, well, I'll give it a shot 
Damage Proc Mini-FAQ
Just noticed Damage Proc Mini-FAQ wasn't working with new forums, it's been updated.
Last night I was working on my L45 Elec/Elec Blaster, Captain ZZap. I've got a decent bundle of money (about 10M inf.) and was able to finish off my second full set of Kinetic Crash for the second Recharge bonus.
So I was looking at what else I could do, and Build-Up caught my attention. I look into what's available there, especially a set called "Rectified Reticle".
"Eh, it's not all that great, and it doesn't even go above level 20, but that's still about as good as SOs. (I'm not a min/maxer, so that's good enough for me.) But it does have another Regen bonus. And what's this 'Increased Perception'? WOW! Okay, what do these cost?
"Several million, and there aren't even any for sale? What was that Merit Cost? 150?! Oh, well, maybe later, then. This one recipe from the set is cheap, I'll pick up one of those and I should be able to buy the others with merits before too long."
Then I saw an Abandoned Sewers Trial starting up. I've never done that, and got in on that. It went okay, and we finished with minutes to spare. "Cool! There's some more merits, right there!"
I wandered back to WW's to unload the stuff I didn't need, then remembered Random Rolls with Merits. "What the heck, I'll give it a shot. I might get the Increased Perception Recipe, and if I don't I should still be able to make a nice bit of additional change off what I do get."
Well, I had enough merits for four rolls. And out of those four rolls, I got TWO Rectified Reticle; Increased Perception, and the other Rectifed Reticle that I needed for the full set! I dropped bids on the salvage I need, and should be able to craft and slot the whole set sometime this week, and sell the other Increased Perception for enough to actually come out ahead!
I was neutral about merits before, but when they let a casual player like me pick up a prized recipe like that that easily, well, NOW I'm sold!
