Disclose the probability of getting specific Datacron abilities when rerolling

In the last datacron set I rerolled a Nightsister level 6 ability 5 times trying to get the 'best' ability and it never came up as a choice.

This set, I got two unaligned force user DCs and after rerolling their level 6 ability a combined 8 times I never once had the option for the wordy 'best' ability. If the probability of rolling an ability were truly uniform then there would only be a 0.25% chance I was so unlucky.

I don't remember it being so difficult to reroll to a specific ability (out of 5 possible abilities)  3 or more sets ago so CG has been tweaking the probabilities of rolling abilities. They need to disclose them and document them along with the abilities, just as the document the probability of getting different shard counts in packs.

  • How are you re-rolling the L6, are you taking it to L9 right to lock in the faction? I've never really had a problem doing it that way, though at some point becomes too expensive after a couple tries so i just work on another cron. But hasn't been a case where I did 6 or more rerolls and still didn't get it.

    It's not actually possible to reroll and get all options in a DC set I believe, when generated each DC has set options that can show, not all of the options. 

    So if it doesn't show after 2 rerolls I think it's not available on that DC

      I haven't heard that DCs are predetermined to never roll certain abilities before. Where is it documented? I don't see anything in game. I can't imagine CG would do that. That would be the equivalent to casinos secretly disabling the ability of some slot machines from ever hitting a jackpot. Pretty sure that is illegal. Also more reason for CG to disclose the reroll rates per DC.

      And yes I am taking them to level 9 to lock in the faction.
