We love Poe for what he is - a somewhat tanky tank with a fast Taunt, a decent amount of offensive capability (expose is awesome) and Offense Down at a pretty high rate is quite useful. He also has a lot of Tenacity which means he's harder to dispel, so he's even better at his job. He's great.
I would agree that at level 70 it would be better if he kept his same speed and didn't gain additional speed....HOWEVER...my main concern is end game. What if at gear 9 Poe's 143 speed becomes much slower relatively speaking? This could be because of other toons getting speed on gear 9, new toons released, old toons buffed with new mechanics, etc. I just don't want a premature nerf on a character that later proves to be unnecessary just because we are playing an immature game right now. Barriss is the key example. Heal meta and her low damage are so far from being OP in PVP it's ridiculous. It's possible her old heal may have been good enough to still make her at least an option in PVP and keep healing relevant. Still would be sketchy given her weak damage, but she'd have a better shot anyway.
I'd be happy with a Poe freeze at 137 temporarily as at 143 he will be tough based on what we know now (again, we don't know all information so that's risky that we assume), but I'd hate to see that planned speed get permanently chopped before we are really at a good point to estimate Poe's value in a more mature game.
