Do many of you guys feel like you don't want to chase meta characters, because you just feel that as soon as you gear one up, they get nerfed or other characters get buffed to the point they are now useless?For example I only have 4 poe shards even though he was the meta for a long time, and currently I keep getting afraid of levelling up GS mainly because he has been in the meta for such a long time now it feels inevitable that a nerf to this ridiculously OP character is just days away all the time. I only have him at 5* so it will still take me a good while to get him to an arena usable state, but I wonder to myself If I really should have farmed him a long time ago since he has been OP for such a very long time. Tanky, super fast, best cannon in the game.But I am just too anxious to chase the meta that's been around for such a long time. Especially with such limited resources and the cap about to be raised.Currently praying on the battle rework will make GS obsolete or at least not the most powerful since from the sounds of what they have planned no way is he going to be one-shotting everyone quickly any more.

I think I have only seen DOTP once in the past month. He just seems to die too quickly these days when I have faced him.If defensive teams get better with the battle rework maybe all my levelled up Jedi will be considered good haha =D

I've got almost 10 toons at level 70, GL8, between 5 and 7*s and I'm really not feeling bad. GW has been extremely doable for me for a little while. I'm going to continue focusing on my shards, and leveling up 1 character at a time.Now let's say a character I have sitting at level 1 becomes the new dooku, yeah I switch gears, but the truth of the matter is, being F2P, I cant afford to keep switching gears over meta anxiety. Just roll with the punches

No one's been kicked out of the meta permanently. People still use Poe in arena. Bariss is still good in GW.

I agree with Fett. I didn't follow the meta with Poe, and no regrets. GS is a solid toon, good damage and decent HP. Find toons with good potential, develop to their fullest extent and find synergies. Currently I am farming Barriss, because even though nerfed, her long term viability is worth the effort. She may well be meta again, but it's her inherent value she currently has that makes her worth development.

The next "Meta"will be Chewbacca. You heard it here first.

Considering the constant player updates, team-specific events and meta changes, I think it is better to farm more toons at the same time rather than focusing on a few.

I feel thr same way. I am anxious to invest in anyone because I have no idea who is going to be good in a month from now ...
Ive never dealt with such wild changes so frequently. Makes the game seem pretty dumb. I would like to know the things I am working on are going to still be good when I am finished. As it is going now, who knows?

I hope this most recent change is going to be the last of them.

Just to point out you can still do well without chasing the META. I personally do it. Ok I'm not number 1 but I hit between 10-20 and never arena crystal refresh.
