im cute posted:Sith Marauder won't probably be back until the next big update, but was it worth a drat? Sith marauder was a marquee character, which means it will follow this pattern: 1. Launch event (gets enough shards for 3*) special packs available to whale toon to 7* - never returns 2. Shows up in chromium packs a few months after launch 3. Shows up in shipments a few months after that 4. Finds a farmable home a few months after that E: to answer your question, it's difficult to say with marquee toons because so few people 7* them right away. Judging by his kit plus incoming sith badasses, my guess is marauder will have a place in tb/tw but not arena. The arena comp will be EP, Vader, Nihilus, Sion, Kreya (if kreya somehow sucks sub sith trooper) (She wont suck) fishtobaskets fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Feb 27, 2018 |

If anyone has any specific questions, I can ask him and repost here. I told him that I'm sure his guild thanks him, and he said, "Considering he's needed for platoons in TB now, yeah."

The fact that Marauder can ignore armor on raid bosses has to come into play at some point. I'm just not sure if that was just the devs playing madlibs with his characteristics or if they had a specific idea for him.

So this new Empire/Sith meta appears to have taken us all the way back to 'whoever has the best speed mods wins', which is a disappointing backwards step. I can keep up with the resident whales on my shard in terms of character gear, but not mods.

I'm actually having this issue some too, which is saying something cause I've got pretty drat good mods. The best solution to climbing I've found is: Rex (L), Talzin, Palp, GK, +1 (Han, CLS, DN, etc)

We're moving into a meta where if your Vader is faster than my Vader by 5, and you also have a Thrawn that will go immediately after Vader culls 2-3+ dots, then I might be completely doa

fishtobaskets posted:My shard whale is faster than all my guys in the mirror match and i beat him cuz he cullung blades and i dont. I had a mirror match where my EP got to go twice. Here's what happened: Their DV goes first, force crush, followed by culling blade (likely on my GK). This dispels 3 buffs, which gives their Thrawn an immediate turn. He now has a debuff because of DN, so he gives his EP TM up, who then aoe stuns my team. His Thrawn fractures GK. DN adds cooldowns to all the people. By the time my EP has gotten his first turn, he still has CD up, DN has annihilated ST, and Thrawn is on his second fracture against GK. I shock their ST. Their EP goes, stunning everyone but my EP (miraculously). My EP gets to use his stun, stunning SiT. They kill everyone else on my team. Was there bad RNG? Sure. The stun hosed me over, but even at 3/5 stuns from EP, followed by CD up from DN, you're just hosed. P.S. I think I might have gotten 1 or 2 basics in aside from EP's 2 turns, but otherwise I made no actions. through all of this. I just sat there and watched my team get demolished.

Yeah, I don't want to be overly dramatic, but if this is going to be the new meta I think I might be done. I can't deal with another who knows how many months of speed mod supremacy.

The flip side of this is that sufficiently narrow speed advantages don’t actually cut it. At which point every mirror match is literally just an RNG shitshow. Because that’s better.

If we're going into a speed balls meta im gonna be sad too. The CLS/JTR/NS/EP/whatever meta was fine because pretty much any team won on offense even with worse mods. I have good speed mods but there are some whales on the shard that could gate keep.

I’m talking about the new Palp meta. If your speed advantage isn’t sufficiently overwhelming, you might as well not have one, because both Vader’s will get turns, and then both teams will have 100% turn meter, and then it is 100% random who’s Palpatine or DN gets to go first and completely decide who wins.

That was one of the early things we discussed with zEP, is that GMYoda has what seems like a great counter with his non-cleanse tenacity up, but it was quickly pointed out that running jedi against zEP teams comes with a host of its own problems.

Chilichimp posted:this As long as they have a sufficiently faster Vader (+5-+10 -- in my case it was +10), and a Thrawn who can go at 85% of Vader's speed (253 Vader -- 264 Thrawn), there's a chance you won't get to do anything. It'll be rng-ish, but if it goes Thrawn -> EP -> stun lands on your vader, you're just stuck sitting there, not generating TM. I tried three times and got wrecked all three times. I tried with my standard comp with GK, replacing GK with Thrawn, and then the standard comp again. Yeah, with Thrawn's TM swap (because he cleanses DN's debuff), there's a chance your Vader will go next instead, but it becomes 50/50 at that point. If you lose that roll, you're just hosed. Then, you need to roll again to see if Vader goes again or EP gets his turn, and if EP lands a stun right then, you're still way behind, especially if DN can then follow up with CD up. Yeah, it's not 100% cut and dry, but three losses in a row where I was just smashed and he only had a small speed advantage...I don't know what else to say about it.

I still can't get over JTR's 0 dmg special "critting" and feeding TM to the enemy via Rex's leader ability.
