Yoda is supposed to be the most powerful Jedi that all other Jedi hold in the highest regard. The fact that he was a chew toy in the game always bothered me. I'm thankful he was buffed. He should be hard to beat, especially considering what you have to do to farm him.

I agree. He was just a joke before.

Except for that one time when he got pumped by EP in Episode 3 and went into hiding to die of old age. Sure Yoda was powerful but realistically he didn't fight a lot and was mostly just respected due to his strong tie to the force.

He was but he was at least usable on offence and you had to apply tactics to using him. Now you can hit auto and it takes the tactics away that you used to need to use Yoda. Now you don't have to think about what abilities to use with Yoda and it isn't hard to use him. He was already strong but now it requires no skill to use him which makes him even more of a joke because you don't have to think in order to use him which is a huge disservice to his character.

Yoda needed the buff. In fact, they should boost his AoE damage as well. Still not buffed exactly how he should be.

I think Yoda and EP pretty well balance each other out now - as they should.

I was just upset that Mace got completely ignored in the update that buffed nearly every Jedi in game. I still have no problem beating Yoda with my Palp lead team, just like I have no problem beating Rex - in fact, Yoda is still easier to beat than Rex, since he doesn't remove debuffs, but at least Yoda is more challenging as he should be.
Just wait for TFP to land at the end of the month. Yoda will again be a joke against EP teams.

Well you cant say he was completely ignored, they reworked how hp % based attacks work or raid bosses so now his expose hits the rancor for 800-1200 instead of 8000. So they made him even worse :)

It was part of Jedi Buff and bug fixes in general

Yoda is still a joke compared to Palp, stop complaining omg... They just made him a little more useful, but he's still way beyond Palp.
The guy can basically stun all the opposing team, just speed him up and you'll get past yoda easily.

When the Yoda event was first released, it marked the only real need for someone to star, level, and gear 5 Jedi's. Anyone doing so had to take time and resources away from toons that were much more viable in other areas of the game. And then they nerfed the heck out of him. It was unfortunate for all of us who worked so hard to get him.

Now of course there's more logical reasons to farm Jedi...Mod Challanges, new raid... But the reasons don't change the fact that it's a chore to unlock him, and , for the most part, Jedi aren't truly useful outside of these specific categories. It's awesome that they buffed Yoda. He, and Jedi, needed it. Diversity in the Arena is important, IMO. I hate that most shards either look like 8/10 Wiggs or EP. It's boring.
