Farm or farm not? (RJT)

I have been wondering about this, and thought i'll ask how the community feels.
If not for the Sith Raid, would you farm the requirements for RJT immediately?

@Kiritoismyname Yeah. Of course. Why not? Lol. She's one of the best toons in the game and currently the second heroes journey toon. I started farming the vets immediately and in the month of April made them 7 star. Sadly cause they released her event early (in march) I didn't get her. Now I'm waiting for the next JTR event, whenever it may be. ;)

(None of these points will take STR into consideration since that's the point of the poll lol.)
I feel like the whole team is kinda overrated because:
1. They require 5/6 zetas to become totally viable in any game mode. Unlike other teams(in my experience) which aren't so zeta hungry.
2. Requires two very difficult to farm characters which are basically useless. Much rather farm mods lol.
3. Even after we get her, there are much better teams that are more metaish in terms of content available. Cls for rancor. Wampanader for haat. Palp for arena.
4. Personal opinion, but i find her kit boring. Too much dodges for my liking. :smiley:
5. I won't really care about legendary/hero's journey toon unless they are really good or entertaining.. still haven't 7* yoda haha.

Btw i'm relatively new(10 months), so yeah. Didn't have much time/reason to get her. Cls with good mods still gets me pretty high in arena haha. Ps. Sorry for the late reponse, missed out.

She has too big of an impact on the Sith raid for me to say anyone else should have priority over her for anyone in any guild that can beat the haat but not heroic str.

The only farms I'd put close are the special tb mission character requirements, and I'd still place those after her simply because of the possible frequency of the shards.

I would get ready for her as soon as possible. She is really amazing for almost everything.

She only needs 1 zeta and thats her leader for jtr team to work and do really well, zeta on bb8 helps and her other zetas are pretty good, but not necessary.

Even though you dont want to take STR into consideration for whatever reason, you need to her for heroic and since you run palp for arena, you should want to get traya shards as soon as possible.

Also, a Rey/Holdo team is very relevant in the arena right now, as Holdo's Bunker Buster spreading daze substantially hinders Palpatine led teams and the AoE gives multiple chances to crit, for lots of TM for your entire team.

I would love to have her but RN, I have to focus on other squads and factions for arena and to get better gear for my troops

Apart from Traya, possibly, she is the best character in the game.

Not wanting her would be odd.

A little hard to know which team you're talking about since there's many variations, but generally it's JTR BB8 R2 +2.

Other than JTR lead zeta, you can get by without other zetas. They improve the team but that's true of pretty much any faction. Especially if you're talking PvE, but to some extent PvP as well.

If you're running Rey, Trooper, Pilot, Finn, Poe, under JTR, they don't need any zetas.

4. Even after we get her, there are much better teams that are more metaish in terms of content available. Cls for rancor. Wampanader for haat. Palp for arena.

For HAAT she's super viable, and Wampa requires you to skip G12 gear for a long time. I run the above lineup plus Thrawn/CLS and it does roughly half the raid, and probably would do more if I had more zetas on JTR/BB8 and better gear on them (BB8 is G9 lol).

I don't know how to differentiate quotes, so sorry in advance lol.
1. Yes, i was talking about that team.
2. I was pretty sure those zetas were mandatory(not counting pvp), but it may be misinformation on my part. Although, i still believe atleast bb8 1 zeta, jtr 2 zetas, r2 2 zeta are absolutely mandatory for the team to work.
3. Accepted. At that point though, i'll switch to a zinn lead. Because its arguably better at everything other than arena defense.
4. Oh, i just mentioned wampanader because its the best. I run zader(l), thrawn, zolo, zls, bb8. I can solo p3, p4 and 20% p2. Obviously, this team is much easier to get. Although i'll give you that it requires a lot of careful planning unlike jtr which makes it easy. How long do you take for the raid btw?

"If not for the sith raid". This is a hypothetical poll if sith raid wasn't there. Read the first line please. I obviously started farming her immediately after str was announced btw.
Before that, i was like "nope, no need for her."

Please read above.

That's pretty constructive. I didn't think of that since everyone switched to palp/rex in my shard lol. Well played. @YaeVizsla
But then again, rex teams are easier to obtain and palp w sion is arguably better than jtr.

Troops are awesome! Love them. Go for the veers zeta, you won't regret haha.

Okay?
That kinda lacks context.. but you took the time to comment so thanks.


Pss. Nope. I don't hate jtr. Yes i'm going for her now. No, i wouldn't have gone for her if not for STR. I just wanted some solid arguments, which i can agree with, to go for her. If not for sith raids' existence.

As always it depends where you're using them. Obviously the more the better, but the team I mentioned in HAAT only had JTR lead, BB8 RWP, and R2 NC for a long time. I still don't have JTR cleanse or BB8 evade.

3. Accepted. At that point though, i'll switch to a zinn lead. Because its arguably better at everything other than arena defense.

At which point? I don't follow which part of my post you're referring to there. zFinn lead is not better than JTR in STR obviously, and for HAAT it really depends on the makeup of the team and which phase. I can do a lot more damage with my JTR team than my zFinn team (although to be fair I escape BB8 early so I can also use him with JTR).

4. Oh, i just mentioned wampanader because its the best. I run zader(l), thrawn, zolo, zls, bb8. I can solo p3, p4 and 20% p2. Obviously, this team is much easier to get.

It's a grind for sure and I really need to try auto for P3 and see how it goes. I do the CLS retreat in P1, zFinn with BB8 escaping in P2, and then my JTR team in P3/P4, and it takes over 90 minutes. Ugh. I do put up 25-30m of damage though.
