One of the best damage dealers in the game went piece of crap overnight.He just does not do any sensible damage now and he's (at least used to be) a part of both JML and JMK teams.And I'm not talking about damage to GLs, mind you. I'm talking about hitting normal toons.Recorded a video a couple of days ago to help one of my guild mates in the squad arena, GAS was hitting like 180k damage on a crit with the JKL's buff followed by 100k normal damage on the extra attack.Today under the same conditions he hits like 20k on a critical hit.Relic 8 offence-modded GAS doing a mere 20k damage to a regular character...It's not funny, I literally choked when seeing this during my arena climb.I wonder what's it gonna be like in the next TW and LS GeoTB.. Are we gonna laugh or cry?

It is because you need to use him right. First you need to leave him be. Then you need to get Lord Vader, which will be a must to get it along the new Maul and after that Lord Vader will hit for 200k followed by non-crit defense ignore hit from Maul of 150k dmg. After all Lord Vader, Gas is same persona right? Don't forget to buy a few packs of gear though and get them to R9.

Don’t need new content just roll things back and buys you lots of time

I don't know why peole are shocked about this now. It sucks, but we saw it coming since the RA on july.

Who will spend money on LVWhen they will just change them at will? Not a chance

He just can be only used as 501st leader now. Pretty sure that was on purpose to make sure JML and JMK won't be the only require GL for climbing. He sucks now as side character - he's relly good as a 501st leader

Is it WAI? I absolutely don’t see defense penetration coming from mastery neither in stats or damage, therefore 65% bonus to nothing is still nothing

You can see armor penetration here and on the relic screen (+120 at R7 iirc). The defense penetration stat shows as zero for every character.

Here is another explanation that starts to dive into this, but on Boba, and not relic related. Still, it confirms this statement about that value not being the "correct stat"

Perhaps use GAS L 501st instead of as part of a JMK comp. Which in any case is not the optimal lineup

To be honest I suffer quiet a lot cause of this GAS nerf, but I kinda see CGs point... GAS was a plug and play character in nearly every Jedi team in my arena ^^"
The problem is, that they nerfed the only real dmg source JMK teams (at least mine cause I dont have Ki-Adi-Mundi and CAT) had cause JMK on a Speed Mod Set to outrun enemy GLs and GMY simply don't deal enough dmg...
I believe the problem might be solved if CG simply reworked or buffed some other Jedis that are currently useless (like nearly every GR Jedi...) to replace him cause right now he realy only has one use and that's in the full 501st squad (where he still doesn't deal half the dmg he did before... RIP GAS and Snips Special Mission)

They wanted to take gas away from JMK so you're forced to use KAM

You don’t absolutely need KAM on a JMK team do well. Though it’s either KAM or CAT imo, if you don’t have either it’s really hard for JMK to perform at his best
