Why does GMYoda only get one g12+ piece of gear?
... because the other one, with physical damage, is about as useful as tits on a bull. I even checked Thrawn, Talzin... but looks like only GMYoda got shafted (from what I can see so far)

@JacenRoe I know what you are saying ... AGI increases armour by a little bit. But that is not the point, really. I also know that other toons get mostly-useless gear as well at different levels... that's not the point either, because this is g12 gear. It's different. I personally don't know of any other g12 or g12+ gear that is "wrong" for a toon (although I sure that someone will jump in and correct me).
Simply, the point is this: That physical dmg gear is for physical dmg toons. You are not going to equip it on GMY. So, GMY will only get 1 piece of g12+ gear. The "opportunity cost" of equipping it on GMY is too high - you lose the benefit of it on a physical dmg toon.
Lets look at the major special dmg toons in the game: Palp, Traya, Talzin, Krennic, DN, Thrawn, and GMY.
The g12+ gear that they get are these:
a) Data Pad (40 int, 3050 health, 50 special crit, 60 resistance penetration, 6 speed)
b) Key Pad (45 agility, 2000 health, 60 armour, 60 resistance, 6 speed)
c) Furnace (6500 health, 30 armour, 30 resistance, 6 speed)
Palp gets (a) and (b)
Traya gets (a) and (b)
Talzin gets (a) and (c)
Krennic gets (a) and (c)
DN gets (a) and (b)
Thrawn gets (a) and (b)
GMY gets (a) and .... a Holo Lens (40 agility, 2000 health, 100 physical dmg, 85 physical crit, 6 speed)
@CG_SBCrumb That HAS to be a mistake. I don't care what they say about it being on purpose... If they don't want to increase GMY's dmg any higher, then give him a (b) or (c). But if they don't want to increase his health too much, give him a (b). The Key Pad has the same health and speed as the Holo Lens that they gave him, but some armour and resistance, rather than the physical dmg stats. In that case you would actually consider equipping the item on GMY. The Key Pad must be what they intended.
Moreover, GMY's resistance is lower than every other toon mentioned above, and his armour is at around the average of those above. The Key Pad is not going to make him overpowered by any means ... he will STILL have less resistance than all of those above toons, even with the extra +60!
It is a mistake, and an easy one to fix. I continue to be astounded at how CG refuses to acknowledge small mistakes like this and fix them.
And to the people who read my posts like a "boo hoo! waa waa waa! I want GMY to be great!" That's not what this is about - it's not a whine or a complaint, I am trying to point out that I believe that a mistake was made, that is easy to fix, and I am asking them to fix it. (While I admit that my first post came across as a bit of a whine).
The whole issue is minor, I agree, and I'm not going to devote my life into starting a crusade against it, but the issue remains, and their explanation does not hold water.
