Okay, so let's look at this player's best current faction:
Early Jedi, Primary:Bastila level 85, 7 star, gear X
- Grand Master Yoda level 72, 7 star, gear IX
- Ashoka Tano level 72, 7 star, gear IX
- Jedi Knight Anakin level 72, 7 star, gear IX
- Jolee Bindo level 35, 5 star(49/85), gear V
Note that they had increased Jedi Consular far more than Jolee Bindo. They're currently using Consular in their Arena squad. It made sense to focus on Consular early, especially but not only because Consular has one of the better starting ships, so JC could serve multiple roles, helping in Galactic War, Squad Arena, and Fleet Arena. But Bindo is the more powerful character in the long run for several reasons. As a result, creating the most powerful early Jedi faction requires moving on from JC and improving Jolee Bindo.
What can be done right now? Well, 3 of these characters are about the same level & gear tier. Bindo is the obvious weakling. We want his abilities, so we don't want him to die early. Therefore we put effort into the whole faction, but starting with JB:
1) Increase the character level of Bindo to 82 immediately.
2) Increase the gear level of Bindo to VII immediately.
3) Add the zeta to Bindo's ability "That Looks Pretty Bad" which became possible to do once JB hit level 82. This allows him to resurrect multiple Jedi at once
4) Add the omega ability to Bindo's "Eh, You Do It."
5) Increase the character level of Biindo to 84
6) Add the omega ability to Bindo's "Experience & Wisdom".
7) Increase the gear level of Bindo to IX as soon as reasonably possible.
Next we'll increase the character levels, as soon as credits are available, in this order:
1) GMY to level 78
2) JKA to level 78
3) Ahsoka Tano to level 78
4) GMY to level 84
5) JKA to level 82
6) Ahsoka to level 82
Now when I'm looking at the gear to determine gear improvements, I notice that our player has mislabeled the gear tiers for 2 toons: JKA and Ahsoka are each gear tier VIII, not IX (in other words, tier 8, not tier 9). This is common for level 72. Grand Master Yoda is actually unusual in being able to hit g9 while still level 72.
Gear improvement priorities would be something like this:
1) Bindo => g9 (as stated above)
2) JKA => g9
3) Ahsoka => g9
4) Bindo => g10
5) GMY => g10
6) JKA => g10
7) Ahsoka => g10
Ability improvements:
1) All of the Bindo improvements listed above
2) GMY's "Masterstroke" omega
3) GMY's basic attack ("Ataru") omega
4) Ahsoka Tano's basic attack ("Focused Slash")
5) JKA's "Overpowering Assault" omega
6) JKA's basic attack ("Deft Bladework") omega
7) GMY's "Unstoppable Force" omega
8) GMY's "Battle Meditation" zeta
Now, obviously we want all these characters at relics someday with all their abilities omega'd and zeta'd, but we're making immediate and intermediate goals here, not long term ones. Long term we have to account for new characters (like Jedi Knight Revan) who will come along and disrupt the order in which we gear toons by immediately moving to the highest priority. For that reason, it makes more sense to plan a couple months ahead, but not much farther than that. To be honest, I don't expect to get even that far with the current squad as is, since there will be other new toons in other factions that will end up higher priority than these.
BUT, within this faction, not considering anything outside this faction and not considering new toons for this faction, this is a good priority list of improvements.
I'm going to go ahead and follow this same general strategy for each faction available, and then I'm going to rank the factions by priority after that.
We rank the different factions by priority for improvement last because we need to see which factions can be improved the most and the quickest in order to set those priorities. This faction has a lot of room to improve, but as you'll see, the Empire faction can be improved even more by the quick addition of 2 characters. Thus other than some quick character levels and ability levels, most of what we've laid out here as priorities for this faction will actually be done after some work is done on the Empire faction... and possibly others? We'll see.
