Will The Separatist Rework Be Meta Defying?

If they released a TL synergy toon with something like: while X unit is active, Target lock cannot be evaded, and enemies cannot gain buffs or cleanse while target locked.

That might do it. Tactical Droid might be fun.

I have a sneaking suspicion people will go ham on Grievous and droids and they'll end up being lackluster. I dunno why.

Isn't IG88 with his zeta already pretty close to this? I can't be bothered to look it up at the moment.

I've decided to just stop chasing the meta and max out the FO faction. Should have them all done by December and be ready for something the first time. ;)

Imperial Probe Droid's zeta stops characters from being able to gain buffs while target locked and IG88's zeta prevents them from being able to gain health and protection while target locked. If say Grievous or HK47 is given an ability that will prevent target lock from being dispelled (as thermal detonators were for bounty hunters), droids would immediately become a deadly team.

I'd say can't be dispelled is less important than can't be evaded. If its meant to be anti-Jedi foresight will be the issue. Doesnt matter if you cant dispell it if you never get it to stick in the first place.

Anyway. Just speculation-fun. Lets see what they come with. Ive got confidence.

And to be really speculative and far looking I'm assuming Galactic Republic faction rework (hopefully) would then be anti-droid.

So Droids counter OR Jedi. GR Jedi Counter Droids. And OR Jedi Counter lots of other things.

Rock paper, etc.

I'm interested in seeing if his kit is limited to Droids synergy or droids + separatist

He'll be like other reworks, almost meta but not quite like every other rework

@ultra

‘Twas not the case when EP/Vader got their reworks.

That's already covered by Imperial Probe Droid's Detect skill. It can't be evaded and dispels all buffs and has a 75% chance to target lock all enemies.

Dahtcha + EethKoth + Ima-Gun Di + Ugnaught + Jawa/JawaScavenger = end of all droids...

I remember at least five significant reworks and all of them were different:

1) Ewoks - coming from the "trash" category, they became "valid for some aspects" (especially if maxed), but nowhere close to meta defining

2) Nightsisters - coming from the "trash" to a very powerful faction, close to "meta defining" and useful in almost every possible aspect of the game

3) Vader and Palpatine rework - "Meta defining" straigh off the bat, and for relatively long

4) GMY - Not meta defining until... arrival of Bastilla

5) Bounty Hunters - form "barely viable" to the solid force in almost every aspect of the game except for the Arena.

Where will GG and separatist droid fit - it is hard to tell. But it is almost guaranteed that it is going to be at least a force to be reckon with...

If you ask me for my opionion - I would love to see the paper/scissors/rock system, with Grevious being Jedi killer, Revan - Traya and CLS killer, , Traya - Grevious killer , CLS - Traya and Grevious killer etc..

It would benefit payers with the wide roster, not the "narrow meta" chasers, switching mods for the "flavor of the month".

But that is just me...

I don't think so. It'll be an anti-Revan (or anti-Jedi if there are going to be new jedi leads in the future) option but will be easily beaten by anything else (Traya, CLS, ...). The new meta will be Darth Revan at the end of this month/in march.

My guess is if anything, there could be a Darth Revan intermediate character that you need to get legendary Darth Malak, and *he* will be potentially meta-shifting. (Maybe with OR ships and an OR capital?)
