going into phase 3 soon and was wondering if the bonus to luck was worth the grind to get it. Ranged defence seems pretty nice too. I am mostly a combat templete any people have any advise on this. I am kinda a loot whore So is the bonus to luck worth more to me than the ranged defence bonus since i only have a 64 ranged defence right now

Luck only gives you a boost in credits looted, and not better luck in looting items. That is the rumor.

Hmm...I wondered the same thing...
So luck is really useless then? getting one mission from the term is more rewarding than looting for credits...
Oh well, thanks for the info, if someone else can debate this, it would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Loot luck increases the amount of credits looted and if you were to loot a set of something you would loot more of a set with loot luck, it doesnt affect whether or not you would loot a pearl over segments for example

Hmm sounds like a filler skill to me....
"we have combat skills, defensive skills, crafting skills, adn medical skills. Hmm we need more content..."
"What do we do though?"
"I've got it. Persuasion and Luck."
"WTH"
"No really sounds kewl huh."
"Umm what will it do"
"Nothing that will be benifitial in the game, but it sounds pretty cool huh?"
"No really people won't like it at all"
"Well ok we'll make it so when a jedi loots, a corsec officer for example, for 45 credits he will have a chance to loot 53 credits instead (because of the LUCK)"
"yeah boss cuz we all know jedi are poor and have to loot to survive"
/zzzzz

so if this just improves credits looted isnt it just awaste of a tree that could otherwise be used for something important

I actually have an answer for that!!!!!
Luck can be a skill in the same world where lightsabers don't actually do lightsaber damage.
Luck can be a skill in the same world where PSG don't actually deflect lightsaber damage. (see The Phantom Menace)
Luck can be a skill in the same world where any good melee stacker can give a jedi knight a whoopin.
Luck can be a skill in the same world where 5 months of grinding (FS) is 1.5 times more than powerful than 2 days of grinding (any combat proffession)
Luck can be a skill here man.... LOL

not really it depends on how fast you want to get done. If you want to get done fast, just take whatever is the best one to get in the first 3 phases. But other than just trying to get done as fast as possible, its worthless right now. That is worthless in comparison to other choices.

i am not sure if all these people talking have luck but i do, i can say that i have not realy noticed a change in what i loot but that sort of thing is very subjective however it does increase credit drops that is for certain. I have had it since pub 9 and wished i had used that unlock on one of the crafting trees ever since 
so i would go for the ranged def if i was you and if you are going for a jedi it is much more usefull.

As for the combat quest in phase 3 i would actually try to avoid it and get reflexes, i hear so many people say 3 combat is easy but out of a goup of 12 me and another guy where the only ones to unlock and there was about 2 weeks of falure after falure. like i said i heard of guys doing it solo but i think thats bs if your not a stacked melee toon with 90% armor on.. the thing that always confused me about the quest is that it wasnt a problem killing the 5 sith thugs to get the commander to spawn it was on the capture that made things fall apart everyone tries to run out and always died i captured the guy and flew out on my speeder and just made a few circles around the camp and jumped off my bike and the commander came too me and the sith where all gone it just takes a few minutes for them to dissapear after the cap...
so if your not a stacked melee guy and dont have god armor and dont know a bunch of people who are willing to die to help ya, id avoid it !! cause it could be a waiste of 3 weeks and not to mention i unlocked last phase 3 and im gonna have to do it agian and agian to help the ones that helped me last time! sure i could dog em but thats not what im made out of!! so hello phase 3 again for me even though im doing reflexes next...
