So question:Echos basic attack Omega upgrade is-"This attack deals 15% more damage if echo has *critical damage up*.I'm super confused since *none of the clone squad members 'give' allies critical damage up* right? Well, and then +15% damage isn't really even like anything special either. Pretty negligible really. Why didn't they just do a flat out +15% damage for the Omega udgrade. This seems really really really stupid and I almost think it's like a purposeful Nerf against echo. The ONLY thing that would make any sense at all in this scenario is if Shaak TI's Training Excersise ability ("target ally assists. If they are a clone they gain +20% critical damage til end of combat"). Now am I just stupid and not getting that *this* is the expected strategy to use echos Omega? Because Shaak TI's aforementioned attack DOES give the clone ally "critical damage *up*" - in 'essense'. But the wording is not the same as echos wording. They only get +20% critical damage as opposed to gaining a BUFF which would be 'critical damage UP, 20%' which is what I'm understanding is the requisite clause for initiating echos 15% damage bonus. There's no buff involved with Shaak TI's ability, get what I'm saying. The clone simply has his critical damage stat increased by 20% for the battle. Am I an idiot or does this upgrade for echo rank an 11 on the useless-sh*t-o-meter?Please clarify. If Shaak ti isn't meant to activate his bonus damage, I'm sure they're gonna make a toon who IS supposed to activate him down the road but til then it's dumb AF. That's all I gotta say... Thanks!

It's not dumb, it preemptive.If they don't release a room for it in the next 3 months then it's dumb. Until then it's just preemptive.

Canderous and Fallen Bastila had synergy with Deathmark when the only character that could inflict Deathmark was the Deathtrooper, a character it made no sense to run them with. Vulture Droid has synergy with a Separatist capital ship, even though we don't currently have one.Sometimes they put stuff on characters that synergizes with characters that aren't out yet.

Theres still no actual deathmark user for canderous to go with other than when doing the DR event.

So they came up with the Sith Empire workaround and Canderous got shafted.

This wasn't accidental. Judging by yesterdays dev post, I now assume General Anakin will be leader of the 501st and give out advantage and CD up.

Echo Omega upgrade is random for no reason??

Blame JKR.
I believe he's the reason that Visas still without tags other than healer.

Well GS and ARC Trooper don't give out the buff, so what's the deal? Seems like they totally dropped the ball with this wasted omega.

It could be worse, you could get a zeta go to trash (points at Bastila after JKR came in, points at Cody after Shaak Ti came in)

At least you know At the beginning that you can save the omega till later.

Like 3.5 years had past from Cody's release to shaak ti that's plenty of time for a replacement .

And Yoda getting a rework leader ability then bastilla coming through is worse than jkr replacing basti .
Bastilla lead is actually useful in places good for unlocking jkr to replace her with lol

Ok. That's my assumption too. So admittedly I'm a rambling sorta writer and it was unclear. But my question was "Will Shaak's 3rd ability crit dam boost fire off echos bonus damage or not?".
My gut said 'shaak to doesnt give them an actual buff with an icon over their heads so no it does NOT work? That's correct then??

Ah, gotcha. Basically no, it doesn't work to activate Echo. It has to be the actual buff, not the invisible stat boost Shaak Ti gives. You are correct.
