I am one of the lucky ones who had saved Cantina Energy and Credits and was able to outfit 3 squads with t5 mods. After having played ~ 20-25 battles against others who have t5 in arena and GW, I fee...

MYTH 1: Mods invalidate all the work we have done on gear, stars, and abilities.

This is untrue. All that we have done to this point is still the base layer. If the base layer is not good, then the mod is not good. Case in point, my Arena squad could consistently beat all but 1 team (B2/JE Droid Team) on my shard before mods. After Mods (and the droid team modded as well), the same is true. Additionally, my secondary arena team which is not highly geared, still cannot beat other highly geared teams that are also modded. Gear is still king.

Love the post. My only comment is in regards to Myth 1. I agree, and said the same thing; Low gear = low base number, making % based Mods only as good as your current stats. But what about set number Mods? The issue with the gear grind was that it took a lot of farming to complete a piece of gear that a simple non-leveled 5* Mod destroys in stats. Take Mk6 Chiewab Hypo Syringe for example. +25 agility. Agility affects Phys. dmg, Phys crit rating, and armor. Great, but I have a lvl 7, 5* Mod that gives me 23% crit dmg, 2% def, and 1119 protection, and a set bonus of 10% health. I got all of this from 1 battle. It took weeks to get that Syringe, and it's not even raid specific gear. Mods should have increased stats sure, but the numbers are astronomical and dwarf hard earned gear stats.
