help with the Jawas

My Jawas are all r5 except one who is r7 (Scav). The mods on them are generally terrible. And yet they still work for a lot of situations you wouldn't expect. I've never felt motivated to give them serious mods. 

When they work, they work bc of their kit, not their mods. Scav wants Potency, but mostly they want survivability so they can hang around while the enemy kills themselves.

Then search the other team members.  This site is very helpful.

Maybe, stop reading what that person wrote then. 

Jawas work by passively adding thermal detonators when they are attacked; they need to be attacked.  I think the pro build is to put speed on Scavenger and the one that adds crit chance up (Scavenger stealths when he crits).  However, I don't put any speed on mine, none at all.  It's a case of surviving as long as possible.

Definitely not.  However, I really like Jawas.  Then.....I do like some odd teams.  I still like SEE and I love the darkside Mando team.

Jawas work like no other team.  Which means they can possibly do things no other team can do.  They haven't aged well, but there have been times when they can get  you out of a tight pinch.  I remember when Mara Jade was new.....they were good at winkling her out like a good winkle picker for your cockles!!

I always liken Jawas to putting $5 in your shoe before going out for the night in bandit town.  Worst comes to the worst you have that $5.  It might not be enough to get you home, but then again.........it might be.

TLDR:  Always carry $5 in your shoe

Nebit, Dathcha and Jawa all work well with 6 health mods, ideally with protection primary on circle, cross and triangle. 

Engineer probably best with speed and health, but again protection primary on circle, cross, triangle. 

Scavenger can depend on the level of your Jawas. If they’re all up in relics (which I doubt will be the case for you), then speed and potency mods are best with a potency primary on the cross. If your Jawas are low-geared, forget speed and make Scavenger tanky with health mods - protection primaries again, though you really do want potency primary on the cross mod. 

Jawas just need to live so Scav can passively apply thermals. Load them up with health and defense. Don't waste good speed mods on freaking Jawas. 

Jawas aren’t a high priority except in specific cases - are you prepping them for Cobb Vanth? If not, I wouldn’t really say you need uber specific care in their mods, but speed and health is a general baseline.
