Yoda and his future nerfs. Prepare now.

It still bothers me that people keep saying Yoda got nerfed. I understand statistically he got a damage reduction. But with Protection and the battles going on longer he actually has a lot more utility purposes than before. He didn't get a Nerf, they simply changes his roll in the game to be a full on support character. P.S: I'm 100% F2P still reaching top ranks with full Jedi squad. I spent a lot of time farming for him yet remain very happy with his performance.

I'm not sure where I stand on the Yoda issue at this point. His utility is still awesome - but now QGJ's humbling blow pulls the tenacity buff off 100% of the time (it's basically "free offense up" now). And apparently, any de-buffer can do the same. 100% - including Ventress. Ventress is the perfect anti-Yoda...which seems really odd, as in "real -life" (lol) the opposite is true.

So they nerfed his attack numbers - but apparently his utility is suffering now as well. That coupled with his low protection numbers (his is about 45% of his total health at Gear VIII - that's one of the lowest %'s in the game - even Rey's is over 50%) makes him very "average" on a high-end team.

Since this last update, Yoda is almost worthless. He does alright but since he no longer deals much damage and it seems like any time you use masterstroke or unstoppable force it's just dodge anyway. I'm really quite disappointed that they reduced the damage he deals on every attack significantly. As stated by many others, he is a special character in the game and it was fairly hard to get him. During the first event I didn't even have enough Jedi characters, and then over the next 2 events, on event #3 I was finally able to get through the last tier, barely. To think of all the time during almost 2 months that I worked on nothing else but leveling and gearing my jedi team just to have this mid April release make him nearly worthless. Whether or not they actually listen to us, or if these petty changes are going to be constant, or even worse they just don't care... I'm really tired of it. He is Grand Master Yoda, and if he is too tough for your team, make your team stronger and stop complaining. I myself am extremely tired of every single team having Dooku but I'm not complaining about it, I'm using strategy and carefully planned attacks to deal with it.

Yoda is not worthless. We really need to stop with the hyperbole. He does a little less damage now. You actually have to think a little more to get the most out of him.

First, CG, please stop deleting my posts. If they are against the TOS, then please let me know. I'm pretty sure they are not.

Second, as my previous post said, I believe that CG is setting us up again for the inevitable Yoda nerf. First, CG puts all these requirements on getting Yoda, hefty requirements of 5 high level Jedi, which most don't have. So we all spend our time, money and resources to farm all the jedi, including some who will spend $60 on that waste of money Jedi character pack.

Since Yoda will be so rare, and so good, that will lead to much complaining on the forums. Once CG has collected enough money from the Jedi packs and from people buying gems in order to farm Jedi faster, next month they will say "Yoda needs a balancing" and nerf him into mediocrity. We've seen this multiple times before, so the likelihood is high.

I guess the only issue is, will CG actually tell us when they nerf Yoda? Or will it just happen and they'll forget...?

The point of me saying this is so people can temper their spending, both of their time and their monies.

For the record, I will have a 6* yoda so I'm not the one who will be hating.

You are a soothsayer and a witch!! Get the fire started Percy!

I made an arena team comprised of Dooku lead, Yoda, qgj, RG, resistance pilot to take advantage of Dooku dodge. Worked well as I was able to compete with the other teams running (Rey, GS, Daka), not due to my damage but the amount of dodge I could create would reduce the one shots. Come patch I was not able to beat any of these teams with this lineup because of the damage reduction to Yoda, RP, and QGJ. However, Rey can still one shot my 6* RG.
