Malak Event

JKR - should be G12+ and fully zeta'd anyway
Jolee - should be G12+ and zeta'd anyway
Bastila - should be G11 and zeta'd or G12 w/o zeta anyway
Mission - essential for the Carth TW/GA squad, should be zeta'd so G11 is fine
Zaalbar - essential for the Carth TW/GA squad, G12 or G11 with zeta

DR - should be G12+ and fully zeta'd anyway (or at least fully zeta'd if stuck with the new gear pieces)
HK - should be G12+ and zeta'd anyway
Badstila - should be G12+ anyway
Carth - essential for the Carth TW/GA squad, should be zeta'd so G11 is fine
Canderous - essential for the Carth TW/GA squad, G12 or G11 with zeta (*yikes*)
____________
Both Trios (JKR, Jolee, Bast / DR, HK, Badstila) should be built up anyway so it's about the +2 fillers on both sides. Anyone with a good resource management did gear up the Carth squad by now as it is an amazing squad for all territories of the game except for arena (TW, GA, TB, HSR).
The only 2 downsides are 1) might have to throw a zeta on Canderous (which is prolly one of the worst zetas in the game) and 2) if it turns out that one of the other chars (Juhani, T3) is required due to the events strategy that might be a problem.

What is really annoying, is that if this event is truly "extremely difficult" then why is there an arbitrary power level requirement. If it's as challenging as they claim it is, then the difficulty itself should be what prevents you from earning Malak; not arbitrary requirements. I like many others have all the required characters AT SEVEN STARS, yet I am blocked from even attempting the event; its ridiculous.

because it seems there is an android hack out there which makes it possible to create overpowered mods for your chars to overcome the lack of gear. Some got DR with G1 squads and such modding.
That's why cg introduced this gp cap, to prevent cheaters from using their hacks ;)

I agree kinda. Note that in the JKR and DR events, the Revan was provided to us. And it was a BAD Revan both times. No mods and not much health. My Revans are much better. But if they go with the same type of deal. We are going to be using bad Revans provided to us. It doesn't say anything in the release about using our Revan. Only the characters needed. And that follows suite with the previous events.

Canderous Ordo - I don't have a Zeta on him. But - with Malak Taunting, I am thinking I may have to Zeta him. Which I have 2 Zetas to spare so, no big deal if that's the case. But his power is 17500+ So not worried.

“Hey guys, we’d like to roll out gear 13 in 3 days. Packs will be available in 3 days and an event needing g13 will begin tomorrow and last for 1 day. Happy holotables all!”

Basically

Which side do you see having better synergy? I think LS Revan team has better overall synergy of the 2. Big Z and Mission are a good pair and he is really tanky. Now DS Revan team doesn't even fall into one faction. Carth leadership does nothing for Sith Empire and vice versa for Revan. I think DS Revan's portion is what is going to make this event a challenge.

Just my personal opinion, but Jolene, Mission and Z are 100% worth g12 and zeta. Probably Carth too.

Also my personal opinion, but they should release the Kit Asap to get people salivating on it and trying to rush. 1 day preview seems like it will cut out people from paying to get there.

EDIT: Autocorrect seems to think I am talking about a Dolly Parton song...

Carth is a great leader for a Old republic team together with Juhani, Mission, Zalbar and Canderous. Totally worth it to put a zeta on him.

Hes good. But qira, big z, mission, L3 and vandor chewy is amazing.

but agree with your point. These arent garbage teams

Mision and zaalbar should be leveled and mission should get a zeta when you have time

Sad part is... im more ready for that than lightside.

My t3 and mission are good... my big z needs more gear

Get him to g10 and slap a crit reduction arrow and some random tenacity and health mods on him and hes good. He doesnt need speed or anything.

I really hate how you need both Revans for this event. You shouldn't need both of them, that's ridiculous. Give us one or the other, I don't want to spend the rest of my life farming all of the Old Republic toons just for one character

They finally realised that, outside of giving PvE toons 5 full tm bars at the beginning of the battle, they can't even outsmart their own community. So, guess what? Power restrictions.
