There are two modes of thinking about bastille's leadership zeta.

It's definitely good, but as soon as you have Jedi Knight Revan, you won't use her leadership zeta again for a long time, possibly forever. So the question is, do you want to zeta something that you know is going to be obsolete very quickly?

Now, I zeta's her before Revan was released, so i didn't know it was essentially a temporary investment. And gosh darn did it pump up my Jedi. It makes killing Palp squads downright easy. Nowadays, though, I think you can get Revan very, very quickly after you get Bastila to 7* (you should be working on the other requirements simultaneously).

The Jedi Revan event can be done without Bastila's zeta, assuming Bast is about g10, Jolee is g9, and the other 3 toons are g7-g8. Not only is this achievable, but you're going to want Jolee and Bast at high gear levels anyway.

So, it's up to you. If you think you'll earn enough rewards to basically trade 20 zeta mats and 13 omegas for whatever extra GAC or Arena **** you think you'll get, go ahead and zeta her. Otherwise ... especially if your other Old Republic toons are close to 7* by the time you get Bastila there ... you hold off and use it to instantly zeta your new Revan and he'll be a better leader for you anyway.

In any case, Bastila's lead is much better than GMY's, so bringing it just short of zeta is absolutely mandatory, even if the zeta ends up (depending on your play style and how far along you are with other Old Republic toons) being optional.

...Speaking of zetas... have you decided which toon gets your first?

I wrote "boo ty" with no space - as in treasure - and it got censored because the filter thought I was going full Sir Mixalot.

Let’s keep this forum clean! Lol

I haven’t thought of what to Zeta honestly, since I just applied my first omegas :)

I may omega bastila’s leadership ability and stop there.

OP, I started an alt a month ago and causally playing have 5* phoenix and ep vader and will have thrawn when event happens again. that was my point re starting over. You are already far behind in arena as I think you mentioned. I used to scoff at people saying "start over" but now I get it.

Well, it really depends on what you want.

Yes, arena sucks but you already have a lot of the boring work done (playing both sides again etc). I think I’ll just do fun stuff with the old one and focus on the new one.

Re arena what I’m actually wondering is if in the long run it will be easier in the old one. Almost everybody quit the game by now so while I may never make the top 10, maybe top 100 is fine. People that left have old teams and as CG launches new features, those will make their teams less competitive. We’ll see!
