Been quite a while since I played, right around when they added the Magma Trooper is when I quit. Is it worth picking this back up for guilds and whatnot? Anything I need to do specific or requirements to get into a goon one?

While I can get in, it keeps restarting with that error code 3 after a few actions. Hopefully it clears up, but at least I can still log in and do a few things before having to restart.

That they don't have that kind of dodge when you are controlling them. That's what I hate. :(

What other characters trigger an extra ally attack? I use IG-86 and QGJizz and when those two tag team someone its brutal. Could be fun to have a whole team of that.

Geno Solider has a "Call in a buddy" attack. Aayla has one on her basic attack too, I think?

Fives has both an ally assist attack and his max rank basic shoots a second time if the target is slowed (which he has a high chance of applying) and a high counter attack rate. So he's lots of fun.

They didn't fix any of the core issues with the game but on the other hand, guilds and raids are fun. I'd give it another shot. Add yourself to the spreadsheet in this thread to find a guild: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3771211

IGD and QGJ are both full atm although IGD might be making spots available soon, I dunno.

Anyone notice that sometimes QGJ dispells a buff but doesn't get the damage boost buff? I've seen it happen a couple times on luminara.

Actually they patched that recently. You'll get a buff off a killing hit now. Also there's definitely a bug trying to debufff luminara's +dodge buff.

Edit: the best is watching the the AI use that ability against someone with foresight.

This game could use a Jedi anti-sith character. Dark side gets Sidious and Dooku, but there doesn't seem to be any Jedi dudes who get bonuses against Sith.

So you know how people kinda sorta say you should get barriss for GW? You really should. I just have her at 5*, but gear 8 and abilities at 7, level 72 (I am 77) and her, lumi, qgj, GS and JC (first half) and dooku for the 2nd half just roll right through GW. I can't quite auto through it, but it is close to that. With the double drops, I finally have some cash and a giant pile of GW tokens, and I should be able to do another one tomorrow morning.

I'm like 30 shards away from getting her to 7* and she's great.

Just tell me I'm exotic.
I'm just stuck on whether or not to get Barris her final star. Because I have her geared out and abilities maxed out. So I feel like I'd have a better time just farming another fun character like Kylo instead of getting a small health boost to an already huge health bar.

But I could be wrong, prove me wrong.

Also, I finally got to 76 yesterday. So the reign begins.

Not only no tanking abilties, but it actually gets buffs for not being hit. The description of the character even calls it a support, so who knows?

Been playing around with different Jedi in the fifth slot on my GW squad.

Barriss(L), Ahsoka, Luminara, Qui-Gon Jin, form the core.

Running JC adds heals but I rarely use them.

Running Yoda adds buffs but often the opposing team don't have any to steal and QGJ adds dmg buff anyways.

Mace doesn't seem to make a huge difference.

Running Obi-Wan seems to be best, his ability block/damage down debuff shuts down high heal and high damage squads well. He is 5* and very effective already so he will probably be godlike at 7* since he also comes with evasion buff. And if he does die the rest of the squad become the Pheonix and go murdertown.

After looking around online it seems he got changed from a support to a tank at some stage. And nerfed for some reason.

Dammit I just want a decent droid team. I don't want to use loving Geonosian meatbags!

The character role descriptions are all over the place and don't really mean anything apart from challenge modes restrictions.

What's do you define as a tanking ability? And how does Mace Windu, Fives, Finn, Old Ben, Plo Koon, Teebo, and Boba Fett, (All are classified as tanks) exhibit it?

I thought a taunt would be pretty key for a tank but I guess there aren't many characters that have that ability.

Honestly I think it is a little bit more than the challenges but not much. I suspect that a tank gets more health per point of a stat than an attacker would and maybe an attacker gets more crit or something. I haven't really dived deep into it but that seems to be how it works. (Though see Barriss and her healer health pool vs Dakkas to see where it could easily be bullshit)
