Master Luke or kenobi - best gl jedi?

I've been stuck on focusing which characters to work on since coliseum released and decided to aim for unlocking a jedi aligned gl. While Luke is a tank and kenobi is an attacker I'm leaning more towards Luke seeing that I'm pretty close to finishing off his remaining requirements being relics on the low level toons. His skillset seems solid and more reliable than kenobi but seeing that I haven't used either toon I'm not sure which one is a better option

  • If you have CAT up and running, go for Kenobi.

    People say JML is one of the weakest GLs, but a lot of recent teams punish mechanics Kenobi uses a lot of, like Protection Up. It’s your call at the end of the day.

  • OK, here is my tuppence.  I've bullet pointed them as unconnected thoughts.

    1. I feel JML has aged terribly.  For me personally, he's by far the worst GL.  I do not trust him to beat some of the most basic teams in PvP any more.  As a GL I do not recommend him, at all.
    2.  That said:   Who is the better GL?  Kenobi, by far.   Who is the better Jedi GL?  Well then it's Luke.  He has great synergy with all Jedi, whereas Kenobi has great synergy with the Galactic Republic.  If it's just to use with Jedi, then Luke.
    3.  If you're closest to Luke, then maybe you want to finish that first?
    4.  When I say I JML is absolutely terrible, and the worst GL, that's personal to me.  If we try to quantify that, I think we need to look at 4 criteria.  A.  How good are they on defence?  B.  How good are they are on offence?   C.  How good are they in PvE  D.  How adaptable are they?  E.g. how often do datacrons come a long to help them and how adaptable is the line up?  When I'm more objective like this JML looks much better.  I'd give JMK  A. 7  B.  8  C. 6  D.  6   I'd give JML  A. 3   B. 6  C. 8  D.  7.  Now, JML looks a much better character than my feelings.
    5.  Don't really think of either of them as 'attackers'  or 'tanks'.  It's the team as a whole you need to look at.  Both teams tank well and can do OK damage.

    I hope these thoughts help.
