You know the recommended mod is going off of several factors: A - the recommended mod class, B - the recommended primary stat, and C - the recommended secondaries, right?
So if your gold mod doesn't hit all three of those it recommends a different one, or it suggests what to find to replace it with that does match A, B, & C.
I modded my KRU with six defence mods and +99 speed. Defense on the cross for the extra boost. Haven't event taken them to 6-dot and I definitely notice he's considerably more durable. Against Jedi teams (all but Yoda + Ezra) they more or less just heal him every time they hit him.
