Why does GMYoda only get one g12+ piece of gear?

Doesn't matter though, they both give +6 speed ;)

I was wondering about this too. They made a point to deliberately change his damage to special then deliberately put the wrong bonus on his new gear.

@CG_SBCrumb did the person that was reworking Yoda not talk to the person that was assigning g12+ here? I am pretty sure GMY is the only character that gets this gear that has 0 physical damage attacks. It makes no sense to change his basic to a special damage attack then assign him a gear that raise physical damage and physical crit chance. I thought this new gear was supposed to be some super improvement on the character not boosting useless stats.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, maybe it’s a bug and we should post it on the EA bug website?

CG's lack of communication is so extreme that they don't even communicate internally.

It is funny. Out of 153 characters that each get 2 new pieces of gear 1 of them gets a piece of gear that boost stats the character doesn't use. (I am discounting AGI/STR/TAC in this because those boost multiple stats.). I for one would have preferred he got more of a boost to his defense stats (yes many consider these useless) over stats that do nothing for him

Just another strategy to keep Jedi weak

On a more serious note, most likely an oversight

Jedi Mickey will solve it all.

Which is very concerning. GMY is the hot toon of this week afterall, and if you oversight this character then what about everyone else?

It implies not a lot of thought is given to the new gear slots for some of the lesser known toons and they just gave them whatever. Kinda like Scavenger Rey getting two +10 Tactics gear when the tank gear first dropped.

I am aware that CG did explain that useless gear was given due to how powerful they currently are and they needed to be balanced out (Scavenger Rey was one-shotting everyone in arena at the time)

I'm just concerned that not a lot of care is given to the new gear slots and I'll admit I had to double check every new gear slot for First Order after this to check if any of the new gear is useless for that specific toon.
