Will The Separatist Rework Be Meta Defying?

There's no money in GG, B2 or Magnaguard and no one is likely whaling on two marquee droids with Darth Revan on the horizon. So unlikely to be meta defining. This is just filler material to get the community to shut up about GG rework.

Magnaguard will likely be the best of the 3 existing toons, simply cause his gear is a pain and he needs more Carbs than Revan, but he's farmable from a 10 cost cantina. GG is a relatively easy gear and will need a major stat overhaul, especially speed (he's 118 maxed I believe) to be viable. Same with B2 - he doesn't have a bad kit on paper, just the power creep has left him in the trash (similar to Sunfac)

At best he'll be a good team in TW or GA, maybe in SithRaid

I wouldn't be surprised if the OR toons become farmable at the same time we are distracted by the emperor's shuttle.

My prediction:
8th Feb - Emperor'l shuttle
W/c 11th - one marquee
W/c 18th - 2 reworks
W/c 25th - GG rework, one marquee
1st March - Revan

Soo... my question is how long after the rework will people be complaining about how hard GG is to get?

GG isnt hard to get, most people do actually have him already. However, having a toon starred and geared are 2 very different things, as seen by the recent legendaries where you needed g11+ on characters to even have a chance. I hope they go that route, buying gear can also make a lot of revenue.

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...

This is what I have been hoping for.

I'm hoping for a strong anti-jedi and anti-NS kit. Something that brings Revan back down a notch, but doesn't fully replace his dominance. But I fully expect this possible droid meta to be overshadowed by the darth revan or Mallak that is coming.

it better not be meta-defining, I worked too hard to get here, but if it is, I'll...well....keep playing I guess?

To me, toons / squads that excel in Grand Arena / TW are better than toons that excel in squad arena. I think GG teams will be a game changer in the sense it'll provide a powerful advantage in GA especially now that Revan is diluted

Yeah time to make Revan disappear......a second rate character who doesnt hold a candle to Yoda or Kenobi needs to go away. Plus I feel like I'm going blind when I enter arena and see nothing but a white robed cult leader in every single spot

I just got Revan and now comfortably finish top 10 every day.

But I'm absolutely sick of Revan mirror matches to the point where I couldn't be bothered doing arena today and it's only been a week.

It wouldn't benefit me at all but anything to bring variety back is a good thing.

For all u know GG gives GK a new skill:
“If General Kenobi is on the opposing team, he gains a new skill: Hello there

Hello there: General Kenobi takes out a blaster and instantly defeats General Grievous.

Haha! good one! Or perhaps to make it more balanced, "Hello there" only activates when only GG and GK are left standing in their respective arena teams.
